Note:
1. Recommend to use of a standard 5V1A charger; not compatible with fast-charging heads.
2. The power supply is Type C.
3. Products should ideally be used in the shade, as their shells, made of resin material via 3D printing, exhibit a characteristic that renders them susceptible to irreversible yellowing upon prolonged exposure to sunlight and ultraviolet radiation.
Installation Instructions for Water Flow Sensors:
1. Refer to the arrow directions on the sensor to determine the direction of inflow and outflow.
2. If installed after the main water supply line, a pre-filter or filtration net must be placed in front to prevent damage over time.
The backend system
Upon initial powering up, the module will automatically emit a Wi-Fi hotspot after a 1 minute wait named "Flowtek HA Water V2". Connect your mobile device's Wi-Fi. No password needed.
Attention! Certain customers may not be able to access the router's backend to view device IP addresses or download local area network IP scanning tools. Upon installation, running the scan on your computer will reveal the device IP.
If the configuration interface does not pop up, open your mobile browser and enter http://192.168.4.1 or http://192.168.4.1:80. On the following page, locate your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network and input the password. Click "Save" to connect (if your router uses both 2.4G and 5G bands in unison, separate them first before attempting to connect to the 5GHz Wi-Fi).
After successfully connecting to Wi-Fi, log in to the router's backend to view the IP address of this device. Then, access it through your browser, such as 192.168.1.20 or http://192.168.1.20:80 (the IP address should be the actual one on your router's backend). This will allow you to enter the control page of the device.
Certain browsers enforce HTTPS by appending it to the URL, thereby preventing access to devices. Please utilize HTTP instead.
One minute without WiFi connectivity will automatically activate the hotspot function to facilitate your switch to WiFi.
It is recommended that the IP address of fixed devices be set in the router's backend, with subsequent access via the browser to this address for configuration.
