COMPONENT’S PROPERTIES

Customizable component’s title and icon. Please refer to “Common properties” guide.

Start irrigation:  That let you choose to turn on/off the irrigation utilizing, for example, a “Switch“;

Cycle counter: We recommend using the component “Slider” in order to increase or decrease the cycles of the irrigation;

Components: This option will open a window “Components” button you can drag & drop the component “Switch” in order to control, for example,  an electric valve. To simplify the operation we already added 3 “Zones”;

Cycle timing in: You can choose between seconds or minutes for the “Cycle counter” component;

Timing % level: This parameter allows to add a “Slider” component in order to customize the Zone cicle time.

Main pump: That let you choose to turn on/off the main pump, “Switch” component is recommended. You can remove this component from “My components” window if you don’t need it;

Delay for main pump[s]: This parameter allows you to start the irrigation with some delay in seconds;

Rain sensor: For this type of component we suggest to use “Color Info”  that can read the values of the sensor in case of rain (0/1);

Discharge actuator: That let you choose to turn on/off the discharge actuator utilized during cold periods of the year to empty water pipes;

Discharge time [s]: Discharge time in seconds;

EVE Remote Plus

Three different view mode possibilities: “CLASSIC”, “MODAL” and “HIDDEN”. Learn more about the component’s view modes. 

CLASSIC VIEW MODE

 Click this icon to enter into the scheduling mode for the cycles (this is the Irrigation Component icon customized for the project).

 Dropdown that let you select which zone you’d like to irrigate.

 Selected days and the relative duration of the irrigation cycle (you can choose between minutes or seconds, in this case, we are using seconds 10:00 which mean 10 min and 00 seconds). If you are using “Minutes” remember that 10:00 mean hh:mm.

 You can click this circle to enable (blue) or disable(white) manually the electrovalve.

 Enable the relative cycle.

 Disable the relative cycle.

This is the visual result of the component on the EVE Remote Plus (Classic Style).

Levers and Switches are displayed as an empty button which lights up when selected.

Levers ⇒ On/Off

State On (lever up).

Irrigation start schedulation

It is really important to understand how timers work and how to enable it. Once you have entered into the programming mode holding the Home icon , remember to click/tap your component icon to enable or disable the irrigation. We have prepared an example to better understand it, the green icon will activate the irrigation system while red will deactivate it.
