Yes, the battery compartment can be tricky. But on the upside, it's very secure! Fortunately, you don't have to do it often. Try a press-turn motion:

• Turn the compartment to the right to open, and to the left to close it.
• Gently press the lid against the compartment while turning
• Please note: the compartment only turns for quarter-inch.

First, please check if you have downloaded the latest version of the app. Then, go to the settings under "My FYTA Beams" to see if there is a new firmware update. Then, please try to connect the Beam again.

You don't need to reinsert the battery for this. Simply press the button on the body of the Beam when prompted to pair. If that doesn't work, please contact us at hello@fyta.de (with information about your smartphone model)

To set up the Hub, please click on the +  sign in the top right corner of the garden screen. Then, follow the instructions of the Hub onboarding process.

Please note: once the Hub is connected, nothing else needs to be done. The Beams will automatically send data to the nearest Hub once every hour. A Wifi symbol will  appear in the plant profiles after the first data exchange.

You don't. The FYTA Beams automatically connects with the nearest Hub once they send data.

The battery is a standard CR2032 lithium button cell.

There is no guarantee that the FYTA Beam will save all your plants. Plants are complex living organisms that require more than just light, water and fertilizer. However, the FYTA Beam will help you to better understand the needs of your plants. Think of the FYTA Beam as a fitness tracker that provides you with relevant health information and encourages you to establish healthy habits. That's how the FYTA Beam works, but for plants 😎

This depends on several factors. Under normal circumstances, the battery lasts 1-2 years. However, the lifetime of the battery decreases with frequent use of the live mode or in cold environments.

Well, yes, because the Beam monitors and analyses your plant vitals long-term. However, you have the option to move the FYTA Beam between plants for quick checks on other plants. There is a function in the app that simplifies switching from plant to another (”move Beam”).  

Kind of. Since waterlogging usually occurs due to overwatering, the FYTA Beam warns you before waterlogging occurs. For accurate measurement, it's important to adjust the probe length to the height of the pot.

Not yet. But it will very soon! Check our newsletter for announcements on new App features.

That depends on your needs. You can easily connect the FYTA Beams only via Bluetooth. However, a hub will improves your user experience:  Without a hub, you need  (i.) to be physically close to your plants, and you need to (ii) open the App to retrieve data. The more Beams you have and the less often you open the app, the longer you need to collect the data. With a Wi-Fi hub, the data exchange happens automatically every hour.

As long as the FYTA Beams are within Wi-Fi range of the hub, you can connect as many as you want. 

No, currently not.

Yes, of course, you can use multiple hubs at the same time to increase coverage.
