How It Works Weather Adaptive Watering ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The RainMachine will dynamically adjust watering duration (e.g.
Creating Your First Program ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In order to enable automatic watering, you need to setup at least one program: 1. From the RainMachine app, go to Settings > Programs > Add New Program 2. Label your program. Example: “Rose Garden” 3.
Custom vs Suggested Duration ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Watering durations for each programmed zone can be set by: 1. Custom duration: The user sets a desired watering duration for a typical summer day. 2.
Program Properties Adjust watering Duration based on weather: When enabled, the base watering duration will be adjusted daily based on weather. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Rain Restriction: Do not water if Rain exceeds a certain amount.
Manually Watering Zones ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From RainMachine app, go to Zones and tap on the play button, and select a desired duration.
Zone Properties & Master Valve To modify zone properties, tap Edit Note: If you have a master valve or a pump, Zone 1 can be re-‐ assigned as a Master Valve. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weather and seasonal adjustments.
Vegetation Type: Different vegetation and plant types require different amounts of water. The RainMachine algorithm uses different variables associated with each type of vegetation to make accurate water consumption calculations.
Dashboard ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The dashboard screen allows you to view past and future weather and water consumption statistics. Tap or swipe left/ right on each graph to view detailed info.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Settings > Weather: Weather data for your location is fetched several times per day from various weather sources such as NOAA (US) or MET.NO (Global). Default is NOAA for US and MET.NO only for EU and Global.
Restrictions ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Restrictions are a set of rules the user can impose on the running programs. Specific time spans (Days, Months, Hours) where no watering takes place.
Rain Sensor ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A regular rain/freeze click sensor (usually these sensors don't require any other power source and when they sense rain, they simply cut off the power going through the Common Wire to the watering zones).
Sensitivity ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sensitivity settings adjust the responsiveness to forecasted amounts of rain or wind. For example, buildings can provide blockage from wind, and as a result, wind has less impact on evaporation.
Troubleshooting Resetting Wi-‐Fi Settings and Password ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Should you need to change your Wi-‐Fi settings or if you forgot your RainMachine password please go to: http://rainmachine.
