4.2 Pairing with GW2000 Wi-Fi Hub and App Setup
For intelligent irrigation features, the WFC01 must be paired with an ECOWITT GW2000 Wi-Fi hub (sold separately) and configured via the Ecowitt APP.
- Power On GW2000 Hub: Ensure your GW2000 Wi-Fi hub is powered on and connected to your home Wi-Fi network. Refer to the GW2000 user manual for initial setup.
- Ecowitt APP ഇൻസ്റ്റാൾ ചെയ്യുക: Download and install the Ecowitt APP on your smartphone or tablet from your device's app store.
- Add WFC01 to APP: Open the Ecowitt APP, navigate to the device management section, and follow the on-screen instructions to add the WFC01 Smart Watering Timer. The app will guide you through the pairing process.
- കണക്ഷൻ സ്ഥിരീകരിക്കുക: Once paired, the WFC01 will communicate with the GW2000 hub, which then uploads data to the Ecowitt cloud server. You can then monitor and control the WFC01 via the app.

5. ഓപ്പറേഷൻ
The WFC01 Smart Watering Timer offers multiple operating modes, accessible either directly via its button or through the Ecowitt APP when connected to the GW2000 hub.
5.1 ഓപ്പറേറ്റിംഗ് മോഡുകൾ
- Timer Button Mode: Basic operation directly from the device button. This mode allows for manual start/stop of watering.
- മാനുവൽ നനവ് മോഡ്: Initiated via the Ecowitt APP for immediate, on-demand watering.
- ഷെഡ്യൂൾ മോഡ്: Program specific watering times and durations through the Ecowitt APP. These schedules are saved locally on the GW2000 hub and will operate even if internet connectivity is lost.
- സ്മാർട്ട് മോഡ്: This advanced mode, configured in the Ecowitt APP, allows the WFC01 to integrate with other Ecowitt sensors (e.g., WH51 Soil Moisture Sensors, Rain Sensors). Watering can be automatically triggered or skipped based on predefined conditions like soil moisture levels, rainfall, or water temperature. This mode requires the GW2000 hub to be connected to the Ecowitt cloud server.

- Ensure the water source is turned on.
- Check for blockages in the timer's inlet filter or the connected hose.
- Verify that the timer's schedule is active or manual watering is initiated.
- ബാറ്ററി ലെവലുകൾ പരിശോധിക്കുക.
- Timer Not Responding to App:
- Ensure the GW2000 Wi-Fi hub is powered on and connected to the internet.
- Check the distance between the WFC01 and the GW2000 hub. The maximum range is approximately 100m/328ft.
- Restart both the WFC01 (by removing and reinserting batteries) and the GW2000 hub.
- Verify that the Ecowitt APP is updated to the latest version.
- Inaccurate Flow/Temperature Readings:
- Ensure the timer is installed correctly with the water flowing in the indicated direction.
