  • For the WX8, if the dial position is RUN, then turning on the device via Google Home means you will water using the zones setup in START A, B or C depending on the START position on the device
  • For the WX8, if the dial position is a zone (1-8) then turning on the device via Google Home means you will start that zone for the manual run time set
  • For the RGB Garden Light, it is also possible to change the light colour by tapping on the light icon and accessing the Colour pallet
  • For the WX2 Tap Timer, use WX2 Tap Timer to turn Zone 1 on/off and use Zone 2 Manual Watering to turn Zone 2 on/off
