2) Now programs or irrigating valves can be set to “pause” as a reaction to analog sensors thresholds, switch’s position change, or flow alerts. In this stage, a resume can be done manually only (Auto resume is under development).

3) Now programs or valves can be set to “Do nothing” as a reaction to analog sensors thresholds, switch’s position change, or flow alerts. For some critical situations like low power, this ability was excluded.

4) The program synchronization mechanism was upgraded. Now the new updates are waiting in the server for the right time to be downloaded to the controller and the server will try to complete the task multiple times, till success. This change will avoid the need for manual synchronization.

5) Bugs were fixed in the fertilization module including fixing the alert text and mismatching between the irrigation method and the fertigation method (time/ Volume).
