You can also start irrigation directly from the portal. This is not recommended, but available. Note that there may be a delay before the command is received.
Start by mounting the sensor on top of the irrigation pipe. Make sure both straps are tightly secured underneath.

You will see this symbol in the app/portal: 
1. Position the reel and pull out the sprinkler

Place the reel where you want to start irrigation, and pull the sprinkler all the way out. Then open the portal, select the correct sensor, and click Start irrigation.
The command is now queued and will be delivered the next time the sensor connects.
2. Wait for the sensor to receive the command
The response time depends on the sensor’s current state:
-
During irrigation: typically within 5 minutes, or immediately if an event is detected (e.g. water loss or tilt)
-
In idle mode: Approximately once per hour
For Start, this can result in a delay of up to 59 minutes before the sensor actually starts monitoring.
Once the command is received, the sensor will begin monitoring and you’ll see it update in the portal with this symbol:
The sensor is now in active irrigation mode, it listens for vibrations every second and reports GPS position every 10 minutes.
3. Set an endpoint (optional)

Stand next to the reel and tap Set endpoint in the portal. The map will open.
Tap Get location at the bottom of the map – or simply tap on the map where the reel is located.

4. Monitor from your phone
While irrigating, you can easily follow the progress in the portal. You’ll see speed, estimated arrival time, and more.
Even if you’re not actively monitoring, you’ll still receive push notifications if something goes wrong.
5. Irrigation complete
When the reel reaches the endpoint and the water flow stops, the system will recognize that irrigation is finished. The event will then be saved in the Irrigation log.
