WELCOME TO HOLMAN iGARDENER

TM

Holman presents to you the Smart Control gardener range. We have an ever increasing range of 

garden watering and irrigation control equipment that are controllable via your smartphone 

in both iOS and Android formats.
iGardener

TM

 watering control products allow you to use your smartphone to control  

all the programming and interface functions on your tap timers or irrigation controllers. 
Download the app at no cost and you will soon have total control of your garden watering. 

Introduction 

The Holman iGardener

TM

 app allows you to control up to 8 controllers or tap timers. You are able to fully 

control upto 6 zones on the BTX6. Each zone can be individually scheduled to suit the exact watering 

schedule necessary for that zone. 
Scheduling for each zone features 7 day watering, interval days, odd days and even days with the option  

of setting your run time in hours and minutes with up to 3 start times per day. 
The BTX6 also features cycle scheduling, which allows a run time and delay time. For example, you could 

schedule a short burst of water to run for 1 minute every 20 minutes for 3 hours. The cycle feature is great 

for the Holman GreenWall and for operating misting systems.

are scheduling. 

Ensure you check for iGardener app updates and keep the app up to date  

with the latest version. Not updating your app will limit its functionality.

up to one minute for the battery status to update accordingly.
