• Cordless telephones operating in the 2.4GHz range – you could also change the channel your phone
uses
• Nearby base stations using adjacent channels
Note that the Hydrawise unit is designed to work in poor wireless environments. However, if you wish to
manually run or stop a zone and the wireless signal is down then these actions will fail.
Offline Mode
If the controller loses internet for more than 24 hours you’ll receive a notification email.
The controller will go into an offline mode. In offline mode your controller won’t be able to access local
weather conditions such as rainfall or evaporation and will revert to a pre-defined program.
• For Smart (ET) Watering zones, the controller will adjust each zone’s watering length based on your
offline watering budget and will water at each zone’s configured peak watering frequency.
• For Time Based watering zones, the controller will adjust each zone’s watering length based on your
offline watering budget and will water at each zone’s configured watering frequency.
• Note that Cycle & Soak is not supported in Offline Mode and each zone will water for its full watering
length without pausing.
• The controller will water only at your configured Program Start Times.
Saving Your Controller Configuration
The controller doesn’t have a battery backup – your configuration settings are stored in non-volatile RAM
which is preferable as batteries need to be periodically replaced.
Configuration settings are automatically saved.
Serial Number
The serial number is used to link your actual controller with your Hydrawise account. This number is also
printed on the controller.
Viewing Network Information and Testing Internet Connectivity
From the Home screen navigate to the Network Status by pressing Status > Controller Status.
All settings on this page are provided to the controller by your wireless router when it first connects via a
protocol known as DHCP. If any of these settings appear incorrect please change them in your wireless
router.
