3Product Overview
1. Welcome to use WFC01, a product that enables
intelligent irrigation. WFC01 communicates with
GW2000 hub on SUB_G ISM radio band. The
GW2000 hub can work with or without internet
(smart mode is only available when the GW2000 hub
is connected to our cloud server).
2. The Smart Water Timer is equipped with a flow meter
as well as a built-in temperature sensor, which not
only functions as a water timer but also allows
real-time monitoring of water flow and temperature,
providing you with a better understanding of water
usage in your home. WFC01 supports cloud-based
control, and water usage log is stored in the cloud.
Users can check their water usage anytime and
manage and optimize it for more convenient control
and achieve more scientific and rational water usage.
3. This product can be set up in the Ecowitt APP and can
be linked with Ecowitt Soil Moisture Sensors to
enable automatic irrigation. The smart mode is only
accessible when hub is talking to our cloud server
18
normally. Scheduled plans are saved on hub locally
and it is not affected in case of network issues, the
pre-set plans can still operate normally.
4. The Smart Water Timer utilizes Sub G radio frequency
transmission technology, ensuring stable and reliable
communication between the timer and the hub within
a range of 100 meters in an open area. Remote control
is possible through the Ecowitt APP, allowing you to
control your water timer anytime and anywhere. The
radio status can be further monitored by the app with
both device’s RSSI level.
5. With a design featuring all-copper pipelines and
connectors, the Smart Water Timer can withstand
water pressure of up to 0.9 MPa. It is IP66 waterproof
and dustproof, durable, corrosion-resistant, with a
long service life.
