# Scheduled Irrigation Issues

If a scheduled irrigation cycle did not start at the expected time, follow the steps below to identify the cause.

## 1. Check the Water Source

Make sure the main water line supplying your garden is open and that there is no water outage. If your system uses a water tank or pressure booster, check the water level.

## 2. Check Device Power

Ensure the device had power (electricity or battery) at the scheduled irrigation time.
 If there was a power outage during the scheduled run, the device will not operate.
 When power returns, it does not compensate for missed irrigation; it simply waits for the next scheduled cycle.

## 3. Verify Schedule Activation

Go to Irrigation Schedules and confirm that the toggle next to your schedule is turned on.
 Inactive schedules will not run.

## 4. Smart Irrigation (Weather) Impact

If rain, wind, or sun sensitivity is enabled, the system may have intentionally skipped irrigation based on live weather data.
 This is a water-saving feature and not a malfunction.

## 5. Check Active Days

Review the selected days in your irrigation schedule and ensure that today is one of the active days.

## 6. Rest Day Settings & Shared Access

If the device is shared with family members or your gardener, someone may have postponed or canceled irrigation.
 Check the Irrigation Calendar to see whether irrigation is scheduled or skipped.
 A user may have added a Rest Day, which would prevent irrigation from running.
