Bluetooth 5.0

The Bluetooth 5.0 data transmission technology built into the controllers allows for programming via the Vision App directly from the mobile app on your smartphone, or the web app on your computer when using the Nuvola Vision device.

Internet Access

The controller is Wi-Fi-ready via the Nuvola WiFi Vision hub. The controller will connect via Bluetooth to the Nuvola device, and the irrigation system will be accessible and manageable via the Internet.

Lithium battery

The controllers are supplied with a rechargeable lithium battery. It is no longer necessary to replace the batteries in the control unit at the beginning of the irrigation season, as you can simply recharge the battery by connecting it to a normal smartphone recharger.

Jack sensor input

The controller is equipped with a jack input for connecting the Acqua Jack Rain Sensor. The installation of the rain sensor pauses the irrigation system during rainy weather thus saving water.

Vision App

The Vision app is available on Google Play and App Store for smartphones and tablets.

3 Easy Steps

The special three-step programming feature allows for easy and intuitive programming in less than 60 seconds. The programming logic is based on answering three simple questions: what time of day to water, for how long, and how often.

One Look Display

The 3" backlit display shows you the full irrigation schedule at a glance. It is no longer necessary to navigate through various programming menus to see the irrigation schedule.

Detachable

The removable electronic unit allows for easy programming, battery replacement, and quick solenoid valve maintenance.

Metal inlet

The metal inlet provides a more reliable and stronger seal and connection.

VISION APP

If I lose the data connection when I click save and send, what happens? Will I have to repeat the programming?

Yes, a necessary condition for saving successfully is the data connection. If the data connection fails, the application and the whole system will not be updated.

What is the difference between PAUSE and OFF?

OFF: control unit turned off. The irrigation season has ended. PAUSE: to suspend the operation of the control unit for a few days. After the Pause days have passed, the control unit will resume the programming that was entered.

I see the umbrella icon and the active zone icon. What does that mean?

It means that the area being irrigated does not have a rain sensor active, while the others do. So the umbrella icon (rain sensor icon) appears for those areas where it is active, while it does not appear for the area which is irrigating.

I can't find devices to pair.

Try: updating the app, clearing Bluetooth settings, disconnecting the battery from the controller for a few seconds, clearing caches from the smartphone. If the anomaly persists, turn the smartphone off and on and access the app again.

I accidentally deleted the controller paired with Nuvola. How can I pair it again?

Go to the Nuvola screen and search for devices. The Nuvola will be able to find the control unit with which it was previously associated.

The Vision App is not responding; what could be the problem?

Sometimes smartphones have minor problems that can be due to: several background apps; the conditions of the device itself; processor overload, and more. In severe cases, turning off and restarting the smartphone may help.

If I delete the App with the devices I have associated, will they remain saved in the Account? So if I reinstall the App, will I still find the devices saved in my Account?

Yes, if you uninstall the App with the devices associated with this Account and then install it again, you will still see the devices associated with the Account.

BLUETOOTH

What's the max. distance I am able to pair Vision devices via Bluetooth?

A fixed maximum distance cannot be determined because the Bluetooth signal is affected by obstacles between the smartphone and the Vision device, such as walls, hedges, trees, moisture, etc. Under standard conditions the average verified distance is about 15 m, this is purely indicative and subject to many external factors. For proper communication, the smartphone must be equipped with Bluetooth 5.0.

How many smartphones can be simultaneously connected via Bluetooth to a Vision device?

Only one device (smartphone or tablet) can be connected to the controller, as the Bluetooth communication that takes place between the two devices is point-to-point.

Is it compatible with older smartphones?

The Vision System is compatible between the Operating System and Bluetooth, or between the Bluetooth of the old smartphone and the Bluetooth of the new one. We recommend using a device (smartphone or tablet) with Bluetooth 5.0.

I have entered the Bluetooth password but I can't pair the device.

Check: the controller has been paired with another account, if there is signal connection between smartphone/tablet and controller (about 15-20m). If the problem persists: cancel the Bluetooth data, disconnect the battery from the controller for a few seconds and reinsert it. If, after cancelling the Bluetooth data and disconnecting the battery, the problem persists, turn the Smartphone/Tablet off and on, and try again.

I can't remember the password I set to associate the device. How can I solve this?

Pairing is done by scanning the QR code on the back of each device. If the login password you wish to change is no longer the default one (000000 - 6 zeros) because you had already changed it, you will need to reset. Once you scan the QR code, the forgotten password will be deleted and you will be able to pair the device again by entering the default password 000000. After that it, you can set a password of your choice again.

INTERNET CONNECTION

Can the controllers of the Vision System be connected to the Internet for remote management?

Yes, all controllers in the Vision range can be connected to the Internet for remote management using Nuvola devices.

I need to pair a control unit with the Nuvola, but it takes a long time to find the devices to pair.

The time it takes for the Nuvola to find the devices it can be paired with, depends on pollution or the presence of other wireless devices in the area. Normally, under optimal conditions, the Nuvola takes 10 seconds to find the devices.

How many accounts can I pair with one Nuvola?

only one account can be linked to each Nuvola. Conversely, I can link several Nuvola to one account.

What distance should I consider between the Nuvola and the Wi-Fi router?

Each modem/router has its own range. It is usually 25 to 30 m, but it also depends on the obstacles which are present (walls, height of walls, thickness of walls, trees, etc.).

What kind of Wi-Fi does Vision System use?

The Vision System uses normal Wi-Fi or WAP2 with SSID and password.

RECHARGING

Are all Vision devices rechargeable?

No, Nuvola Mini WiFi Vision plugs into the power outlet and therefore is not rechargeable. The rechargeable Vision devices are: - Amico Vision controller - Pure Vision controller - Pure Vision 2.0 controller - Zenit Vision controller (back up battery only) - Ionic Vision controller (back up battery only) - Acqua Vision Rain Sensor - Nuvola+ WiFi Vision - Nuvola+ Cell Vision

Can the Luce solar panel and the Vision Turbine be connected to a single Vision device at the same time?

No, two charging systems cannot be connected to the same device at the same time.

How many charge cycles can the lithium battery of Vision controllers, not connected to recharging devices, sustain?

The lithium batteries of Vision control units not connected to automatic recharging devices last about 400 days with standard programming (2 openings/closures per day). Regarding irrigation cycles, the battery level (without recharging) drops from 100% to 20% after 15,000 cycles of opening and closing solenoid valves.

Where is the female battery power-charging connector located in the Pure Vision 2.0 control unit?

Inside the battery compartment of the controller.

What flow rate and pressure can the Turbina Vision handle?

- Maximum flow rate: 50 l/min - Minimum working pressure: 1 bar - Maximum working pressure: 6 bar

Depending on the flow rate and thus the type of nozzle selected, it takes a couple of hours of irrigation to recharge the controller battery.

How long does it take the Turbine to recharge the battery?

Is there a proper direction for installing Turbina Vision?

Yes, the direction is indicated by the arrow on the bottom of the Turbine

How long does it take the Luce Vision solar panel to recharge the battery?

The Luce Vision solar panel takes a couple of hours to recharge the controller battery, if it's fully sunny during the charging period.

VISION PROGRAMMING

In the Advanced Frequency mode, I entered a frequency for every 2 days and then Thursday and Friday because I need to irrigate those two days. Will the controller save my programming?

No, the controller saves only one of the set frequency modes. Specifically, it stores the last changed frequency. In the list of frequencies, the one that has the "check mark" will be stored.

What does Save and send mean?

Save: to save the settings in the Server. Send: to send these settings to the Server

How do I switch from standard mode to advanced mode?

Choose "advanced mode" from the settings menu in the upper-left corner.

TAP TIMERS

I installed the control unit to the tap but water keeps coming out.

Close the water tap and perform a manual start of one minute per zone. At the end of the manual cycle, open the tap again.

What does the last data item on the screen mean and why can't I change it?

The last figure on the screen indicates the time left before the following irrigation. It can't be changed because it is calculated by the controller.

How can I turn one zone OFF?

Press the AUTO/OFF button for 3" and using the '+' button select OFF

Is it possible to connect a rain sensor to tap controllers?

Not all controllers are compatible with the rain sensor. Compatible models are: AMICO D AMICO VISION and it is possible to connect the Acqua Vision rain sensor

I programmed my tap timer but the date Feb/23 appears on the display. What does it mean? Will the irrigation start on the 23rd of February?

Feb/23 is a static screen icon and does not affect the programming.

A flashing battery icon appears on the display. What does it mean?

The flashing battery icon means the battery is low and should be replaced.

How often should the battery be replaced?

We recommend replacing the batteries at the beginning of each irrigation season.
