Here’s a visual walkthrough of the Holman WX1 Tap Timer and Wi‑Fi Hub setup—perfect for getting your garden irrigation automated and remote-controlled.
Setting Up Your Holman Wi‑Fi Tap Timer & Hub
Step 1: Install and Set Up the Holman Home App
Download Holman Home from the App Store or Google Play.
Launch the app, then tap Register to create a Holman account using your email or mobile number.
Agree to the terms of service and allow permissions as needed (e.g., location for weather features).
Step 2: Add the Wi‑Fi Hub to the App
Plug the Wi‑Fi Hub into a power source—ideally placed indoors and close to your Wi‑Fi router.
In the app, tap “+” (Add Device), choose Garden Watering → Wi‑Fi Hub.
Enter your 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi network name and password, then tap Next.
Select EZ Mode, or use AP Mode if advised by the app.
Follow the on-screen instructions to reset the hub if required, then confirm once the LED indicates a successful pairing.
Step 3: Add the WX1 Tap Timer
Insert 4× AA batteries into the WX1 timer.
In Holman Home, tap “+”, then select Garden Watering → WX1 Tap Timer.
Follow the instructions to reset and pair the device—look for LED confirmation before tapping Next.

Optional: Resetting Devices (If Needed)
If you’re troubleshooting or setting up from scratch:
Reset the Wi‑Fi Hub: Unplug it for 5 minutes, then hold the button while plugging it back in until you see a long green LED followed by quick green flashes.
Reset the WX1 Tap Timer: Remove the battery holder and wait 5 minutes. Then press and hold the button while reinserting the holder; the LED will flash red/white three times, pause, and then flash rapidly—once that happens, you can release the button.
Step 4: Configure and Control Your Tap Timer
Once added, you can control everything from the Holman Home app:
Manual Control: Tap the timer in the app to turn it ON or OFF.
Scheduling: Set up to three start times, durations (run times), and select watering days. You can also enable a mist setting for short bursts or add rain delays (24h/48h/72h) for weather interruptions.
Compatibility Highlights
A single Wi‑Fi Hub can manage up to 4× WX1 Tap Timers or a mix of WX1 and WX2 units (depending on firmware version).
You can also connect a Smart Moisture Sensor (WXMS) for soil-based automation when supported.
