- Timer not pairing with Gateway: Ensure the timer is within range of the gateway. Check that the timer has fresh batteries and is in pairing mode as indicated by its light.
- 앱에서 기기가 오프라인으로 표시됩니다. Check the power supply to the gateway and the batteries in the timer. Verify your home internet connection is stable.
6.2 No Water Flow
- 급수량을 확인하세요: 수도꼭지가 완전히 열려 있는지 확인하십시오.
- 배터리 수준: Low batteries can prevent the valve from opening. Replace them.
- 수동 조작: Try manually opening the valve via the app or the timer button to check if the valve mechanism is working.
