⚫Product Overview
1. Welcome to use WFC01, a product that enables intelligent irrigation. This product needs
to be connected to the Ecowitt Cloud System via the WIFI Hub GW2000 to achieve smart
irrigation.
2. The Smart Water Timer is equipped with a flow meter and 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 all 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. It can also be linked with Ecowitt Rain
Sensors to automatically terminate irrigation plans, avoiding water waste and
overwatering. Even in case of network issues, the pre-set plans can still operate normally.
4. The Smart Water Timer utilizes radio frequency transmission technology and a gateway
for data transmission, ensuring stable and reliable communication between the timer and
the gateway 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.
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.
