Adjustable watering settings Create a watering schedule with control over start times and durations. Set a watering duration from 1 minute up to 3 hours and choose a frequency from every hour to every 15 days. This enables targeted irrigation for different zones and plant needs, helping conserve water while keeping vegetation healthy. Automatic rain delay mode Builtin rain delay pauses programmed watering for up to 15 days during rainfall. This feature helps maximize water efficiency by preventing unnecessary irrigation when nature is providing moisture, while still protecting your plants from drought stress when rain is scarce. Flexible manual watering option A manual mode lets you water lawn or garden as needed with durations up to 8 hours. Using manual watering does not affect the automated schedule, so you can address immediate needs without altering your planned irrigation routine. Use scenarios Scenario 1: A mixed garden with flower beds and a small lawn. Program short, frequent cycles in the morning (for example, 10 minutes every 4 hours) to keep soil moisture even without overwatering. Adjust durations and frequencies to match plant needs and seasonal changes. Scenario 2: Dry spells or heat waves. Set longer watering sessions every 1–2 days to maintain turf health, while relying on automatic rain delay to skip watering during rainfall. Scenario 3: After planting seedlings or transplants. Use manual watering up to several hours as needed for establishment, then revert to automated schedules to maintain ongoing irrigation without disruption.
