connect spruce to smartthings
Establish a network connection with the SmartThings Hub first, before
mounting the hardware. Perform the initial network connection in close
proximity to the SmartThings Hub. Plug the power into Spruce and wait
for Spruce to finish booting (the logo flashes purple/green when
booting, and changes to blinking red when done).
In the SmartThings App, navigate to the Marketplace then tap + Connect
New Device. SmartThings will start to search for devices.
While SmartThings is searching, tell Spruce to join the network: On the
Controller, press the Function button (logo will turn teal), then touch
Zone 9 (logo will flash red/blue). Spruce should connect to SmartThings
within 1 minute. When Spruce is connected, the indicator light will
switch to blue.
Back in the SmartThings App, select Spruce Controller on the list of
connected devices (If SmartThings identifies the device as a generic
Thing or a different device, go to our Support Page for instructions to un-
pair; then try connecting again).
On the next screen, add the Spruce Controller to the Spruce Room. If
the Spruce Room does not exist, add it by tapping Select a Room, then
Add a new room. Add a new room and name it Spruce. When done, tap
next. The next screen configures how Spruce will interact with other
devices in SmartThings. Make any desired changes, then tap Done.
Unplug the Controller and prepare to mount the hardware.

Remove your existing controller and take note of which zone wires
correspond to which zones. You can use the table on the opposite side
of this quick start guide to take notes, or take a picture.

mount the mounting plate
C
Ca ar re ef fu ul ll ly y remove the faceplate - refer to the insert for additional
instruction. Prop up the Controller on a table with the front face of
the unit facing away from you. Push down on the tabs on the top of
the unit, and continue to push the tabs towards you to separate the
mounting plate away from the faceplate.
If necessary, install drywall anchors. Use a drill to drill two holes in
alignment with the mounting holes, and insert the provided drywall
anchors. Using the 2 screws provided, screw the Spruce Controller
into the drywall anchors, or directly into bare wood.
install the zone wires
Feed the zone wire bundle under the bottom bracket and insert the
zone wires into the screwless connectors. It may be helpful to push
down on the terminal block with a small screwdriver when inserting
or releasing wires. Make sure all the connections are tight.
The common, 16 zones, and rain sensor ports are labelled on the
board. It does not matter which common ports are used. The
Master/Pump wire (if applicable) can be installed into any open zone
and then configured as such in the SmartApp. The 24VAC ports are
optional and not necessary if using the supplied AC adaptor & power
input port at the bottom of the unit.
Re-install the faceplate. Take care to align the pins - do n no ot t bend
them. Plug the AC adaptor into Spruce and into a wall plug (Note: the
faceplate must be re-attached before plugging in the power). The
Spruce indicator will flash purple & green while booting up, then
change to solid blue when connected.
connect spruce sensors
Connect your Spruce Sensors (if applicable) to the network at this
time, and be sure to add all Sensors to the Spruce Room.

-> Spruce Room and select your Spruce Controller. Tap on any of the
zones to toggle the zones on or off. The Start Watering option will
water each zone based off the algorithm output using the current
conditions (ignoring weather prediction and day of week restrictions).
