The WINDOW plan features an advanced irrigation plan which enables the user to set-up a cyclical watering within a defined time frame, repeating it several times during a specified part of the day. The WINDOW plan can only be defined for an irrigation cycle that is shorter than a full day (up to 23:59 or 11:59PM). This watering plan is very useful and standard for Baccara’s controllers.
The app will automatically use the smartphone date parameters to set the time. It is not possible to set these parameters manually through the application. However, it is possible to modify the Week Days for watering by touching the drop beneath the week day abbreviation name, as well as the ON and OFF duration for watering.
