Irrigation

The main functions for taking care of your garden, wherever you are.

To access the Irrigation System, simply press the three dots at the top right, then the Irrigation button.

The Basics

Managing irrigation is a bit like listening to music, the main controls are as follows:

• Start: press the green button with the sprinkler symbol to start the irrigation cycle.

• Pause: Did you forget to move something off the lawn? Temporarily pause the cycle by pressing the blue button. Pressing the Start button again will resume the cycle from where it was paused.

• Stop: using the red button, you can completely stop the cycle. By pressing the Start button again, the cycle will restart from the beginning.

• Back / Forward: these two buttons allow you to go back to the previous stage or move to the next one.

We talked about the irrigation cycle, as it's essential to divide the garden into zones to ensure adequate system pressure, thus ensuring a correct water supply. Each zone corresponds to a specific phase of the cycle.

In addition to the main buttons, these are the elements you will find on the page:

• Weather Forecasts: useful if you're away from home to avoid watering when it rains.

• Rain Gauge: If you have installed a rain sensor, you can check the condition of your lawn; the system will automatically avoid initiating the irrigation cycle if the garden is sufficiently moist.

• Irrigation Cycle Information: here you can find a summary of what is happening; if the cycle is in progress, the percentage of completion, and which phase (zone) is being irrigated at that moment.

• Zones / Phases: Below are the zones/phases that have been configured, which you can modify in terms of time, order, and name.

Remember that since these are predictions, it is not possible to achieve the same performance as a rain gauge.

It is possible to link irrigation to weather conditions, so as to automatically avoid starting the cycle if rain is forecast; contact your technician to activate this option.

Zones / Phases

When we talk about zones or phases, we essentially mean the same thing. Each zone of the garden is associated with a specific phase in the irrigation cycle. You can intervene in the phases to manage the system.

The cell representing the zone (or phase) is characterized by:

• Play Button: if you wish to water a specific area, you can press the play button and choose to start only that phase or also the subsequent ones.

• Name: The name allows you to distinguish different phases and you can modify it as you wish.

• Duration: the phase duration is expressed in minutes, and you can modify it by clicking directly on the value.

• Completion Percentage: The percentage value indicates the progress of the specific phase.

Modify the Configuration

To modify the phase configuration, you need to press the three dots in the upper right corner, then the Edit button.

Here are the operations you can perform:

• Arrange the Phases: To rearrange the phases, simply press and hold the phase you want to move, then drag it to the desired location.

• Edit the Name: click directly on the text.

• Modify the Duration: click directly on the value.

Once you have completed the changes, click on the three dots at the top right again, then select Close Edit (click the Cancel button if you wish to discard them

Calendar

The ideal setup is to program an automatic irrigation cycle, while the manual start or stop will be reserved for isolated cases.

To configure the scheduling, press the button with the three dots at the top right, then the Calendar button.

Once you have opened the calendar page, by pressing the + button at the bottom right, you can proceed with creating an event; by pressing the three dots at the top right, you can enable/disable all configured events.

Event Creation

Creating an event is quite simple. It allows you to set a name for the event (e.g., Evening Irrigation), define the start time of the cycle, and specify the days of the week you want this configuration to be active.

If you wish to irrigate more than once a day, you must create an equivalent number of events.

To edit an existing event, simply click on it.
