6 Zone WIFI Connect Tuya Smart Home Watering Timer Garden Irrigation Controller Water Valve Irrigation Tmer System

Installation

1. Select a location

Choose a location near power and away from direct sunlight.This location should have a good WiFi signal, you can check the signal using asmartphone.

2. Connect valve wires

Strip about 10mm of insulation from each wire, attach one wire from each valve to a”Common”(COM) terminal and the other wires to a numbered terminalone wire perterminal)

Note: to prevent damage to the controller, connect only one valve to each terminal.

Create a timer /watering schedule

(1) Tap “Timer” on the bottom.

(2} Tap “Add” and set watering start times.

(3) Set watering days of the week. lf not set, the Timer will run one time.

(4) Select the zones and set the run times for each zone.

(5) Set Cycle and Soak, it will break up the run times you set for each zone andallow water to soak into the soil before adding more. This method preventswasteful and harmful water runoff while increasing plant health by encouragingdeeper root growth.Cycle: Split up watering durations into multiple shorter watering durationsSoak: Dlay between watering durations.

For example:

If you set 10 Mins for zone 1, 15 Mins for zone 2,5 Mins for the cycle watering time,and 10 Mins for the soak time, when the timer starts, each zone wil circularly runfor 5 Mins and stop for 10 Mins until the watering duration of each zone runs out.

Maximally it allows you to create 10 watering timers, each timer can includemultiple zones and the

watering duration of each zone can be set separately.Please note that the zones in the timer wil run in sequence, and only one zone canrun at a time. The zone’s indicator will always be on when watering and turn offwhen the watering duration runs out

For example:

Timer 1 includes zone 1 and 2, the watering time of zone 1 is 20m, zone 2 is 15m, 10Mins for the cycle watering time and 5 Mins for the soak time, and starts from9:00am on Monday. The timer wil run as below:

9:00-9:10 —-Zone 1 is watering
9:10-9:15 —–Zone 1 stops for soaking
9:15-9:25 —–Zone 1 is watering
9:25——-Zone1stops
9:25-9:35 ——-Zone 2 is watering
9:35-9:40 ——Zone 2 stops for soaking
9:40-9:45 ——Zone 2 is watering
9:45——-Zone 2 stops

Since only one zone can run at a time, when you set another timer, you should skirun time during 9:00-9:45am on Monday.

(6) lf you turn on the Smart Weather, the timer will skip the rainy and snowy daysautomatically.

Troubleshooting

1,Problem:Connection issues between mobile device and controller

Possible cause:

①WiFi signal strengthis low

     Verify with your phone, the WiFi signalis at least 2 bars of strength at thelocation of the controller. lf it is not, tryto relocate the WiFi            router so it is closeand does have as much interference. fthis is not possible, Use a WiFi rangeextender to boost the signal strength.

②The App shows that the controller is offine andWiFi indicator on the controller is blinking

     Check your local network, are otherconnected devices working propery?Try to re-connect the controler to youiWiFi router.

③Failed to connect the controller to WiFi network

Make sure that the WiFi network is2.4Ghz

2,Programmed schedulesand manual wateringfunctions don’t start

①,Water source notsupplying water

Verify there is not disruption to the mainwater line and that all other water suppllines are open and functioning propery

②,Wiring is loose or notpropery connected

Check that valve wiring is securelyconnected at the controller and in the field

③,Valve wires arecorroded or damaged

Check valve wiring for damage andreplace if necessary.Check wiring connections and replace with watertight splice connectors if needed
