A. Setup your Holman Home device to be used with Siri
  1. Getting Started
  2. Before using Siri to control your devices, check you have the following:
    • an iOS device (iPhone, iPad etc) that has iOS version 12.0 or above
    • a Holman Home smart device. For example: WX8 irrigation controller, RGB or WW Garden Light, Wi-Fi Socket or WX1 Tap Timer

  3. Setup and add your Holman Home smart device to your Holman Home app

  4. Create all the Smart Tap-to-Run scenarios you require
  5. Note: Siri can not be used with Smart Automation scenarios
