I was able to setup the Faucet timer with Bluetooth on my iPHone but it is notm reflected on my iPAd because I am unable to make a WiFi connection. The only option that comes up is Bluettooth. The Small plugged in hub nevertheless shows a blue blinking light.
Anyone with a solution? Thank you

My iPhone connected via Bluetooth to the faucet timer. Yet my iPad does not, yet they are both on the same network 2.4. I was able to set up that small plugin WiFi hub and connect it to my iPad Orbit app.
But, I have no idea how to program the faucet timer. I am using the Orbit app, which has all my programs for the sprinklers and drip irrigation. I cannot find a way to program the faucet timer via the wifi hub. No options appear in the app.Any suggestions? Thanks again for taking the time to,trespond. Eric

I tried all the usual resetting etc a million times. Eventually, when setting up the WiFi, I de-selected the ‘DHCP’ option for the networking and configured a static IP address etc. This seemed to resolve the issue for me.
I am not 100% confident this resolved it (there were still some odd things going on), but at least it is another option for users seeing this thread to try.October 15, 2023 at 7:19 pm #82138 -
