LOGIN There are 2 ways to work with the FOCUS APP:
In “safe” mode, where prior registration, you will have your registered devices control and no one else will be able to use them unless you allow them to. You will have two ways to access devices you own or that another user has given you access to: 1. Through your registered user (email) and password. 2. If you do not remember your password or prefer to work without it, you can access using your registered username and a 6-digit code that you will receive in your email. In “open” mode, where without any prior registration, you can manage any device without restricted access because it is the property of another user.

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.

Water Budget (% irrigation time 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 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.
