Setting Up Your Holman Wi‑Fi Tap Timer & Hub

Step 1: Install and Set Up the Holman Home App

  1. Download Holman Home from the App Store or Google Play.

  2. Launch the app, then tap Register to create a Holman account using your email or mobile number.

  3. 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

  1. Plug the Wi‑Fi Hub into a power source—ideally placed indoors and close to your Wi‑Fi router.

  2. In the app, tap “+” (Add Device), choose Garden Watering → Wi‑Fi Hub.

  3. Enter your 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi network name and password, then tap Next.

  4. Select EZ Mode, or use AP Mode if advised by the app.

  5. 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

  1. Insert 4× AA batteries into the WX1 timer.

  2. In Holman Home, tap “+”, then select Garden Watering → WX1 Tap Timer.

  3. 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.
