Gardena Water Control Bluetooth®

The Water Control Bluetooth® from GARDENA conveniently configures your garden's automatic irrigation system with your smart phone or tablet. The weatherproof device with an elegant, simple design is installed directly on the outdoor water tap. Thanks to Bluetooth®, the Water Control can be set up within a radius of up to 10 metres, for example from the comfort of your garden lounger. A smartphone or a tablet with iOS or Android serves as a practical remote control. After installation, the GARDENA Bluetooth® App guides you step by step to connect your smartphone to the Water Control. Then you can simply let the Scheduling Assistant suggest the ideal watering cycles for your plants or set up to 3 individual schedules as you wish. Each schedule consists of different start times and durations and can be repeated on different days of the week. A rain break can be set if required to make sure that your garden is not watered unnecessarily during a rainy week. This is good for the plants and saves water. You can connect GARDENA's Soil Moisture Sensor, which is sold separately. This automatically ensures that irrigation is done as needed and saves water by not carrying out timed watering when the soil is already moist. Three status LEDs on the control panel show the current status of the Bluetooth® connection, watering and the 9 V alkaline battery in use. The battery should deliver operation for a full year. If you want to water your plants outside the watering cycle, watering can be started and stopped manually at any time at the touch of a button on the device. Thanks to the GARDENA Safe Stop function you have automatic watering under control at all times. If the battery power runs low, the start of the next watering cycle is automatically prevented. This means you are safe in the knowledge that your garden is protected from overwatering at all times.In order to use the GARDENA Bluetooth® app and the functionalities of your GARDENA Bluetooth® gardening tool, an online registration and set up of a user account with GARDENA or our group of companies, the Husqvarna Group, is required.
