Yes, the battery compartment is tricky. But it is bombproof! And fortunately, you don't have to do that often. The trick is a push-turn motion:

• The direction of rotation of the lid is unusual for European standards. Ie to open the compartment you turn to the right, to close it to the left.
• Gently press the lid onto the compartment as you rotate.
• Important: the compartment only turns about one centimeter to the right to open, then you can already remove the lid.

Please first check whether you have downloaded the latest version of the app.

Check that all permissions are granted and Bluetooth is active.

You don't need to reinsert the battery for this. To pair, simply press the button on the neck of the Beam when the pairing prompt appears. If that doesn't work, please contact us at hello@fyta.de.

(with information about your smartphone. This helps)

Blue: Firmware update

Beam flashing green. Pairing mode

Beam flashing red: Battery low, please change

Hub green: Pairing mode or no connection to Wi-Fi or Internet

If the blue LED is lit, the sensor is in DFU mode. The app automatically detects this, if it's open and in the foreground, and then repairs the sensor.

To do this, please open the app again and bring it close to the sensor and wait a while.

To set up the Hub, please click the + sign in the top right corner of the garden view. Then go through the Hub onboarding process.

Important: Once the hub is connected, nothing else needs to be done. The sensors will automatically send data to the nearest hub once an hour.

After the data has been sent to the WiFi Hub for the first time (after about 1 hour), a WiFi symbol will appear in the plant profiles.

Sometimes it can happen that even after setting up the hub is not connected to the Internet.

To resolve the issue, please follow these steps:

- remove the hub from your garden (top right the 3 dots and then edit hub)
- unplug the USB-C cable from the hub
-Hold down the button on the bottom of the hub and plug the USB-C cable back in
- the hub flashes red and is reset
- set up the hub again in the garden

Not at all. Pairing devices with each other is very 2018. Our FYTA Beams always dynamically connect to the nearest hub, once an hour.

After the Beams send data to the Wi-Fi Hub for the first time, a Wi-Fi symbol will appear in the plant profiles. This can take about an hour the first time.

Beam: pairing mode

Hub: reset

The battery is a commercially available CR2032 lithium coin cell

That depends on several factors. Under normal circumstances, the battery lasts 1-2 years and is additionally supported by the solar cell. However, the runtime decreases with frequent use of the live mode or in a cold environment.

There's no guarantee that the FYTA Beam will save all your plants. Plants are complex creatures that need more than light, water, fertilizer, and heat. But the FYTA Beam will help you better understand your plants and their needs.

It's best to think of the FYTA Beam as a kind of fitness tracker that not only provides you with health information but also encourages you to establish healthy habits.

That's roughly how the FYTA Beam works. Only for plants 😎

Theoretically, yes. The FYTA Beam continuously measures and analyzes the data for a single plant. However, you have the option of moving the FYTA Beam from one plant to the next for quick tests. There's a special feature in the app that simplifies this process. This allows you to at least quickly check whether a plant is lacking water or what the current conditions are. Alternatively, you can rotate the FYTA Beam between your plants every week. However, it's best if the beam remains in the plant.

no The FYTA Beam determines the moisture in the entire pot area. Since waterlogging is usually caused by overwatering, the FYTA Beam warns you before it even occurs. For an accurate measurement, it is important that you adjust the length of the stick to the height of the pot.

Yes.

That depends on your needs. You can easily connect the FYTA Beams via Bluetooth. However, the number of sensors in a pure Bluetooth configuration affects usability: To retrieve the data without a hub, you have to open the app near the beams. The more beams are together and the less often you open the app, the longer the data download takes. With a Wi-Fi hub, the data is read from the beams every hour and the evaluations are sent to you automatically.

As long as the FYTA Beams are within Bluetooth range of the hub, you can have as many as you want. It's true.

No, unfortunately not at the moment.

Yes, of course, multiple hubs can be used simultaneously to increase coverage.

Due to the measurement method, the sensors interfere when they are in a pot. The plant profile must also match so that the evaluations are identical.

This problem (zero readings or consistently flat readings) sometimes occurs when the rods don't make good contact with the beam. Unfortunately, this can happen and is due to the fact that the rods are replaceable. It's similar to what happens with a computer monitor when the cable isn't properly connected.

Here's how to fix the problem:

• Please take the battery
• Press lightly with your finger on the lower battery contact so that the circuit board slides downwards.
• Insert battery
• Unscrew the rods and screw them back in firmly. Make sure the washers are positioned correctly. You can also use small pliers.
• Then gently tap the beam with the rods on the table a few times.
• Take a metal object and place it on both legs of the beam.
• Perform the ground calibration
• Check the values ​​in live mode. You should get a value close to 75-80% (or 100% for mineral substrates).
• If not, repeat the process and adjust the rods slightly.
• Put the stakes back into the ground, activate live mode and check the value again.

The FYTA app is currently available in German and English. Language settings can be changed in the settings.

Nothing. Nada. Rien.

But yes! Try it out! :)

Because we want to get better! We currently release new app and firmware updates every two to three weeks. Since we launched in mid-June 2022, we are currently finding out together with you what we can improve. And we keep finding new bugs and still have a lot of great ideas. We make frequent updates so you don't have to wait for things to work better. In a few months things will certainly calm down a bit.

We have several thousand plants in our database. However, it may happen that we don't yet have a plant in the database. If yours isn't there, you can send us a quick message in the app, and we'll add it directly to our next update. In the meantime, we'll assign your plant stats from the same plant family.

• green face : the plant is doing well
• red exclamation mark : the plant needs help/care
• Bell with Z : a muted parameter is not in the optimal range
• Hourglass : the first analysis is still running

Since communication between the app and the sensor takes place via Bluetooth, the app must be allowed to detect nearby devices. Depending on the Android version, this may require sharing the location, as this is linked to the detection of nearby devices.

Depending on the measured value, the first complete analysis takes up to 24 hours after setting up the FYTA Beam.

Moisture is usually available after just 3 hours.

Since a full day is needed to calculate the daylight integral, this takes the longest.

Yes, we also deliver outside the EU to almost all European countries.
