The Smart Water Controller has two options: Schedule or Smart Scenarios.

You can set a schedule by following these steps:

1. Set a start time for the watering schedule
2. Set the duration of the schedule
3. Select the repeat days
4. Choose between Continuous to run water continuously or Pulse to run water with short breaks to give the soil time to absorb and to save water

If you want to connect the Smart Water Controller to other Hombli devices, or want to set scenarios based on specific conditions, you can set up a Smart Scenario. For example, you can cancel all automatic programs for 3 days after rain. To learn more about Smart Scenarios, you can find our blog article here.

Freezing temperatures can damage the Smart Water controller, so it’s advised to disconnect and remove the Water Controller during the winter.

The Smart Water Controller is created with outdoor use in mind. The controller is IP54 waterproof (splash-proof and resistant to dust).

This device is compatible with 1” (33.3mm) and 3/4” (36.5mm) threads. Working pressure is up to 8 bar.

Check if your router/modem and your Hombli Smart Gateway are not too far apart. Also make sure the Smart Water Controller and the Gateway are not too far away from each other.

If the WiFi signal is not strong enough at the location of the Smart Gateway, the connection can drop. The best solution is to change the location of the router/modem or to place WiFi extenders between the router/modem and the gateway.

With the Hombli app you can easily create schedules for your Smart Water Controller and control it remotely. You can always open and close the tap without using the app by using the physical button on the Water Controller.
