Please check the Power LED and Internet LED on the gateway. Both LEDs must be permanently green, if this is not the case follow the instructions in the FAQ "Gateway is offline".
If the LEDs on the gateway light up green, please check in the GARDENA smart App whether the affected devices (smart Water Control/Irrigation Control) are online. If this is not the case, please follow the troubleshooting instructions (Help button) in the GARDENA smart App of the affected smart device.
If all devices are online, we recommend that you disconnect and reconnect your smart device (smart Water Control/Irrigation Control) from the smart system once. We also ask you to restart your gateway by disconnecting and reconnecting it once. After this process, the system should communicate properly again and the irrigation cycles should be controlled as specified.
Please note the following points for the rain forecast:
- Irrigation is skipped from a rain probability of 85% and the set rain quantity.
- Rainfall: To ensure that sufficient water reaches the roots (approx. 20 cm below the surface) even when the soil is dry, 10-20 mm/m² is required for an average irrigation. We recommend a threshold value of 10 mm (equivalent to a large watering can). Threshold value can be adjusted in the GARDENA smart App at your own discretion.
- Time period: The further the weather forecast is in the future, the less accurate it is. We therefore only take the next 6 hours into account for the calculation.
- Weather data: We use the weather data from MeteoGroup for the calculation.
Note:
An incomplete wireless connection between the gateway and the smart devices may lead to the present situation. This may be due to a less than ideal installation location for the gateway. It is best to install the gateway where you can expect the least radio resistance, e.g. directly at a window facing your garden. An installation location such as in the basement or on the roof could cause a higher radio resistance and thus reduce the radio quality between the smart products. Please ensure that there are no obstacles, such as a wooden hut, metal objects, walls or similar, between the gateway and the associated smart devices. This can lead to problems with the wireless connection.
