Run the Hardware Setup Wizard
On first launch, Sprinqua shows the setup wizard. It walks you through three quick steps:
Select your relay board
Pick your exact board model from the list. Sprinqua auto-fills the correct GPIO pin mapping.
Name your irrigation zones
Assign a name and type (sprinkler, drip, mist…) to each relay channel. Set a safety auto-off limit per zone.
Test each relay
Pulse each relay for 3 seconds to verify the physical wiring before committing to the configuration.
Start watering 💧
You're done. Turn zones on manually, create weekly schedules, enable Smart Watering to skip rainy days, or connect to Home Assistant via MQTT. All from the same clean UI.
