ADD CONTROLLERS
Once you enter the APP for the first time, a blank screen will be displayed
where you can add the controllers. Select the icon to add them. Initially, the
list of operating equipment (with batteries inserted) that emits Bluetooth and
is close to the mobile device will appear. Those that appear with a yellow
symbol indicate that Bluetooth communication is weaker. Select the controller
you want to register. Replace the serial number (PSN), which appears by
default, with the name with which you want to identify this controller. If
this controller has already been registered by another user, a message will
appear warning that the controller cannot be registered in the APP. If the
controller is not linked to any other user, the APP will register them and
they will appear on the screen. This process must be repeated for all the new
devices that you want to register.e.

applied): By default is 100% of the time defined for each station or solenoid
valve (from now on EV). If you want to reduce or increase, slide the %
according to what you want and it will apply to all programs. It can be from
0% to 200%.

MANUAL IRRIGATION
You will find this option at the bottom of the screen with the icon
Each controller will have as many cycles (irrigation starts) as EV has the
device. The minimum duration per cycle will be 10″. The activation of EVs can
be sequential. In this case it will be necessary to define a different cycle
for each EV. Several EV can also be activated at the same time, selecting in
this case up to a maximum of 4 EV in the same cycle. Once the cycles are
defined, press the icon to activate the EVs. While EV is activated, the screen
shows blue “waves” moving. To stop any EV activation, press the icon To delete

MANUAL IRRIGATION WITHOUT SMARTPHONE
There is also the option to activate manual watering without smartphone. To do
this, it is necessary to use a magnet (contact your distributor to purchase).
Place the magnet on the right side of the controller where there is a small
arrow.
Hold the magnet for about 3 seconds until the red LED turns on and flashes
quickly. The manual irrigation program that has been entered in the APP will
start (if no program has been set yet, the controller will apply, by default,
a one-minute irrigation for each EV. To stop this manual irrigation, just put
the magnet again to the side where the arrow is and hold it for 3 seconds. You
will see again the LED flashing quickly, and irrigation will stop. In the
event that the controller has several EV and you want to stop irrigating one
EV to activate the next, it will only be necessary to put the magnet on the
arrow side with a quick movement (less than 3″). This change between sectors
can take about 10″.

CONTROLLERS MANAGEMENT
Although for security, initially a controller can only be registered in a
single user account, it may be the case that a controller has to be registered
in the account of a user (gardening company) and in the account of another
user (property owner).
In these cases, the procedure for sharing the management of controllers is as
follows:
Select the options menu (in the upper left corner of the screen).
Select the “Guest Users” option.
Enter an email address of the user you want to also have access to all the
controllers you have registered in the APP.
The invited user will receive a verification email notifying them of the
invitation.
In the event that another user gives you access to their controllers, to
manage these computers you must select the “Shared installations” option. All
users who have shared their computers with you will be displayed. It will only
be necessary to select the user and we will see the available equipment.
