• Vandingstilstande: Choose from Normal Irrigation (continuous one-time), Interval Irrigation (intermittent spraying for cooling or water-saving), and Cycle & Soak (splitting total watering time into short cycles with breaks to allow water absorption).
• Weather-Based Smart Watering: The system can automatically delay watering based on real-time weather conditions (e.g., rain, snow, cloudy) to prevent overwatering and conserve water.
• Overvågning af vandforbrug: Each zone has a built-in high-precision flow sensor that tracks water consumption. You can view last water usage and set watering amounts directly in your plans.
• Udvidbart system: One WiFi gateway can pair with up to 4 WiFi water timers. Multiple sub-devices, such as soil sensors (HCS026FRF), can be connected to form a more intelligent watering system.
