The BRESSER HOMGAR Devices manual describes a range of smart home devices, including a Smart Garden Set, Smart Garden Duo Set, 1-Zone Watering Timer, 2-Zone Watering Timer, Soil Sensor, Indoor Thermo-Hygrometer, and Outdoor Thermo-Hygrometer. These devices are designed to work with the HOMGAR™ APP, providing a comprehensive solution for monitoring weather conditions, managing irrigation, and tracking indoor/outdoor climate.
Function Description
The core of the system is the Weather Station Gateway (HWS388), which acts as a central hub for all connected sensors and timers. It displays various weather parameters, including forecast, rainfall probability, freezing point alert, indoor and outdoor temperature, indoor and outdoor humidity, barometric pressure, and current time. The gateway features a multi-channel display, allowing users to monitor data from multiple sensors simultaneously.
The Smart Garden Set and Duo Set integrate the weather station with watering timers and soil sensors. The watering timers (1-Zone and 2-Zone) are designed to automate irrigation based on user-defined schedules or data from the soil sensor. The soil sensor measures soil temperature and humidity, providing crucial information for optimizing watering.
The Indoor and Outdoor Thermo-Hygrometers provide additional environmental monitoring capabilities. The Indoor Thermo-Hygrometer measures indoor temperature and humidity, offering an indoor comfort level indicator. The Outdoor Thermo-Hygrometer extends this monitoring to outdoor environments, providing data on outdoor temperature and humidity.
All devices are managed through the HOMGAR™ APP, which allows for remote monitoring, configuration, and control. The app provides a user-friendly interface to view real-time data, set irrigation plans, manage devices, and receive alerts. It supports various functions such as home management, adding devices, local weather display, and room system management.

- Indoor Comfort Level Indicator: Provides a visual indication of indoor comfort based on temperature and humidity levels (DRY, COMFORT, WET).
- Low Battery Indicator: Alerts users when sensor batteries are low, prompting replacement.
- Voice Service Integration: Supports third-party voice services like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for hands-free control and information retrieval.
- Watering Control: The watering timers can be set for automatic or manual irrigation. The soil sensor helps optimize watering by providing real-time soil moisture data.
- Backlight Function: The weather station gateway's backlight can be adjusted for brightness (100%, 50%, 30%, 10%, and OFF) and can be set to turn ON/OFF automatically.
- Channel Selection: Outdoor sensors can be assigned to different channels (1-3) to avoid interference.
Maintenance Features
- Troubleshooting Guide: The manual provides solutions for common problems such as power issues, battery drainage, disconnections, and inaccurate readings.
- Battery Replacement: Users are advised to replace all batteries simultaneously with new ones of the same type when the low battery indicator appears. For outdoor sensors, alkaline batteries are recommended for longer life.
