The Light Symphony iTimer is a wireless device. This means it receives  

commands from the remote control and is able to send control ’messages’ to the light-

ing control modules in the garden using its antenna only.  

Connect the items below together then to a spare port on your router, as shown*. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* The Timer can work without an internet connection but will not auto-reset the clock after a 

power-cut. An internet connection is essential for the App and Cloud functions.
