Mount the field hub on the supplied pole near your pump house — as high as you safely can, antenna pointing straight up. The higher it sits, the farther it reaches your valves.

Plug the field hub into power. It runs on its own cellular. The controller plugs into the power injector's LAN port, or into the farm's router with the injector's LAN port empty. Never plug the hub or the injector into the farm's router. A light turns solid green when it's connected — usually under a minute.

In the app, tap + Add equipment. Give your field a name, then add the hub: scan the QR on the claim card that came in the box, or type the Hub ID printed on that card. That's it — the hub links to your account automatically.

At each valve, push the stake into the ground and connect the valve's two wires to the box: red to red, black to black. The wires are not interchangeable. Swapped, the valve opens when it should close. If the wires aren't red and black, or you're not sure, stop and call your installer. Your installer checks the wiring before the first watering. Point the antenna up. Set the little solar panel where it gets sun.

The valve ships switched off to save its battery. Your installer switches it on with the ToolBox app on a phone. Once it's on, it joins within a few minutes and shows up in your app.

Still in + Add equipment, tap Scan QR and point your phone at the claim card that came in the valve's box — or type the Device ID and the claim code printed on that card. If the camera won't open, tap Read ID from photo and snap a picture of the card instead. Pick which part of the field it waters. Repeat for each valve. Done.

Tap Open on a valve, pick how long it should run, and confirm. It shuts itself off at the time shown. Or set a schedule so it waters on its own. A schedule is skipped for rain only if you tick Rain skip on it; that box is off until you do. Rain skip uses weather from the last 12 hours only: older or missing weather never skips a run. Every skip or hold shows why on the schedule. If anything ever needs your attention, you'll see an alert in the app and get an email.

Soil start is a separate box, also off until you tick it. It is only for a single-zone schedule, it needs a soil sensor, and it never checks rain. It waters for the schedule's own run time, pump included. An old or missing soil reading never starts or skips a run. If a run it started opened its valve, ran its full time, and the sensor didn't get 2 points wetter within 3 hours, soil start pauses on that schedule and says so until someone on the farm (an operator, admin or the owner) taps Turn soil start back on.

With a pump and a wireless valve, a schedule's clock start or soil start turns the pump on only after the valve reports open. A valve wired to the pump's own controller opens first, then its pump starts. In a sequence with a pump, the next zone opens before the last one closes (usually under a minute; up to about 5 minutes if the next valve's start gets no answer, then the sequence ends). If a zone's valve doesn't confirm it opened, the sequence ends there: the pump stops first (unless another zone it feeds is still watering), then the zones close. Closing the last open valve stops its pump, unless a pump-only schedule is running it.
