to be controlled by time and even by the weather.

This guide shows how to use the Fibaro Home Center's Sprinklers panel to control your irrigation at regular intervals.

Figure 1: Fibaro Home Center's Sprinklers Panel

Fibaro Sprinklers Panel

The Sprinklers panel is available in the Fibaro Home Center 2 (HC2) and Home Center Lite (HCL) controllers. It enables you to add a number of Z-Wave controlled water valves or sprinkler actuators, each of which can have it's own schedule and control- giving you flexible control and over-ride of the sprinkler's automatic control.

• Individual Schedules: Each sprinkler has it's own schedule - time, duration and days of week
• Individual Control: Each sprinkler can be run automatically or can be overridden - OFF or turned ON for up to 15 minutes
• Adjust Water: Increase or decrease the watering time for all sprinklers in on control (up to +100% or -90%)
• Rain Delay: Delay the next watering period for all sprinklers by up to 72 hours
• Cycles: Choose how many times per day the sprinklers are activated (up to 5 cycles)

Sprinklers Panel Setup

The Sprinklers panel is easy to set up and use.

• Go to the Panels > Sprinklers Panel
• Click the Choose button
• Select the sprinkler control devices from the drop down-list and click Close
• The sprinkler device will be added to the panel - the device icons will also be updated to a sprinkler (with timing over-ride)
• Select the number of Daily Cycles from the drop-down list
• Configure each sprinkler to the correct On period, Time (duration) and days of week
• Note: When entering times, click the sprinkler's time box and type the time in full 24hour format without colons (0800, 1800, 2115 etc)
• Click the blue SAVE button in the right-hand side-bar

You now have your sprinkler system setup for automatic control. You can also over-ride these times for individual sprinklers or by using the Adjust Water and Rain Delaycontrols.
