This past year we received many inquiries regarding the usage of home automation and our smart app controlled pumps. Before diving in, let me explain the design of our app controlled pumps.

When the pump is plugged in, the onboard computer goes through a short boot up sequence. The lights on the display panel will light up in a linear pattern first forward and then in a backwards direction. After this boot up, the power light will flash on and off indicating the pump is ready.  At this time, the pump is not on,  but awaiting a command from either the app or the touch panel.  Each time the pump is plugged in , this sequence occurs. The pump will not turn on after plugging in. This is a safety feature. If your power goes out in the middle of the night and then comes back on, you don't want your misters spraying all night and or day unbeknownst to you.

For home automation however, it may be desirable to have the pump come on as soon as power is switched on to the outlet. New for 2024, we have additional circuitry we can install to make this possible.  See Accessories/ electronics for cost and details
