Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible cause	Possible solution
Connection issues.	Wi-Fi signal.	Ensure the Wi-Fi signal has at least 2 bars of strength at the controller's location. If not, relocate the router closer or use a Wi-Fi range extender.
	The App shows that the controller is offline and the Wi-Fi indicator on the Controller is blinking.	Check your local network. Are the other connected devices working properly? Try to re-connect the controller to your Wi-Fi router.
	Failed to connect the controller to Wi-Fi network.	Make sure that the Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz.
Programmed schedules and manual watering functions don't start.	Water source is not supplying water.	Verify there is no disruption to the main water line, and all other water supply lines are open and functioning properly.
	The wiring is loose or not properly connected.	Check that all the wiring is correctly and tightly connected.
	Valve wires are corroded or damaged.	Inspect valve wiring for damage and replace if necessary. Replace wiring connections with watertight splice connectors if needed.
	Date/time is not set correctly / not connected to Wi-Fi & Internet.	Connect the controller to Wi-Fi with a stable internet connection to synchronize the time. Schedules are inactive when date/time is not set correctly.
