After a soil moisture sensor is connected,
the word "Sensor" will be displayed.
This can take up to 1 minute. The soil moisture
level at which a watering will not be carried out
as per the schedule can be set using the switch-
ing point controller on the soil moisture sensor
(see GARDENA Soil Moisture Sensor Operator's
manual). This does not affect active manual
watering.
