The WaterMe Wireless Irrigation Controller requires a connection to the internet to allow remote access from your smart phone,
computer or any device with an active internet connection. This connection can be established via a Wireless connection through
an ADSL/Wi-Fi modem. You must ensure that the WaterMe Wireless Irrigation Controller is connected within range of your Wi-Fi
modem. The range of Wi-Fi signal will vary depending on the model of your wireless modem and interference from nearby
objects. As a general rule you will be able to achieve line of sight distances of around 50 metres. The WaterMe unit requires input
of your network SSID and password. There are two ways to achieve this: pairing and access point mode.
