How to Manage Your Lights & Water in the App

You can manage both your Gardyn's light and water directly from your app's home screen.

The light widget on your home screen will always display your lights' current intensity setting, from Off to a percentage (Dim) or Boost (100% intensity). To make a change to your lights' current setting or schedule, tap the light widget to get started.

If you're in Schedule Mode, you'll see your next scheduled light shift's intensity and start time. To temporarily change what mode your lights are currently in (Off, Dim, or Boost), tap the button you want to shift to. Your lights will automatically return to their schedule at the start of the next light shift.

If you're in Dim Mode but want to adjust the intensity of your lights while in Dim Mode, note that this will automatically adjust all dimmed lighting shifts to the same (new) intensity.

If you're in Manual Mode, you must manually toggle your lights on and off by tapping the button for the desired mode. The same rules apply as Schedule Mode for switching between modes and changing the intensity when in Dim Mode. To let Kelby handle your lights for you, tap the bottom right corner to switch to Schedule Mode on the following screen using the toggle.

Before making any adjustments, remember:

• The Gardyn is bright at first, but the light softens considerably once your plants grow! Most Gardyners find they grow accustomed to the lights as well.

• Kelby recommends a total of 14 to 16 continuous hours in Boost mode daily for the healthiest growth. 

• Boost mode is the maximum light intensity.

• The smiley face scale in the bottom left corner of your app's Light Schedule screen is Kelby's signal that your plants are getting enough light.

To edit your light schedule, open the light widget, then tap "Edit" at the bottom right across from Schedule Mode. (If you're in Manual Mode, you'll need to switch to Schedule Mode first before you can edit a schedule).

• Tap the calendar icon, then select the day you want to edit.

• To edit an existing light shift, tap the shift, then adjust the start or end times as desired.

• Don't forget to tap "Save" in the upper right corner of the screen once you're done editing the shift!

• If instead, you want to delete the shift, tap the trashcan symbol at the bottom of the screen.

• You can add a new light shift by tapping the green plus (+) symbol on the bottom right of the screen.

• To copy one day's schedule to another, tap "Copy X-day's schedule" (it will say the day of the schedule you're currently viewing) then select the days you want to copy the schedule to (you can select more than one at a time), followed by Confirm.

Note that you will not see a time slot for the hours your lights are scheduled to be off.

The water widget on your home screen will always display the current number of gallons out of 5 that your water tank holds. To manually activate a watering cycle or make changes to your water schedule, tap the water widget to get started.

To learn when to top off or refresh your tank, check your tasks in the app. If you're in Schedule Mode, you'll see either your next scheduled watering start time or a note to let you know your Gardyn is germinating. To run a watering cycle regardless of which mode you're in (schedule or manual), toggle the switch next to Watering to on (green). You can manually end the watering cycle at any time, or let it automatically stop after 15 minutes. While the watering cycle is running, you'll see a note on your home screen and a countdown timer in the water widget with how much time is left in the 15-minute cycle.

If you're in Manual Mode, you must manually activate each watering cycle using the toggle on the water widget. To switch from Manual Mode to Schedule Mode, tap Switch Mode to be brought to your water schedule where you can select to be in Schedule Mode.

Before making any adjustments, remember:

• Your plants are in good hands when you let Kelby manage your water through Schedule Mode and Kelby Assist!

• In Manual Mode, your plants' watering is entirely in your hands as you must activate each watering cycle.

• The smiley face scale in the bottom left corner of your app's Water Schedule screen is Kelby's signal that your plants are getting enough water.

If you have Kelby Assist enabled, you cannot edit your water schedule and must first disable Kelby Assist to make changes. Tap where it says Edit on your water widget to be brought to your settings where you can disable Kelby Assist (turn the toggle from green to grey). If Kelby Assist is disabled, you can edit your water schedule by tapping "Edit" on the water widget.

To make changes to your water schedule:

• Tap the calendar icon, then select the day you want to edit.

• To edit an existing water cycle, tap the cycle, then adjust the start or end times as desired. Don't forget to press "Save" in the upper right corner of the screen when you're done editing!

• If instead you want to delete a water cycle, tap the cycle followed by the trash can symbol at the bottom of the screen.

• You can add a new water cycle by tapping the green plus (+) symbol on the bottom right of the screen.

• To copy one day's schedule to another, tap "Copy X-day's schedule" (it will say the day of the schedule you're currently viewing) then select the days you want to copy the schedule to (you can select more than one at a time), followed by Confirm.
