Scheduling Watering Plans:

Use the RAINPOINT Home APP to create and manage up to 6 automatic irrigation plans. You can customize the duration (from 0 seconds to 60 minutes) and frequency (Everyday, Even Dates, Odd Dates, or Custom) for each plan. The app allows for remote modification and temporary watering adjustments anytime, anywhere.

To prevent overwatering during rainy periods, utilize the Rain Delay feature in the app. You can set delays for 24, 48, or 72 hours, which will automatically skip scheduled watering cycles.

Održavanje

Punjenje baterije:

The integrated 2600mAh lithium-ion battery is primarily charged by the solar panel. In periods of continuous rainy or cloudy weather, the battery can be recharged via a micro-USB cable (included). A full charge can sustain the system for up to 14 days without solar support.

Water Shortage Upozorenje:

The RAINPOINT APP will send a water shortage alarm via email and push notification if there is a water outage or clogged tubing. This feature helps protect your plants by alerting you to potential issues promptly. Ensure the water pump pipeline is properly installed and perform water shortage calibration as needed.
