Use 24-hour time format
Enabling this setting will display times using the 24-hour notation, i.e., 23:00 instead of 11:00pm.
Show seconds in time
Enabling this setting will display times with seconds, i.e., 6:22:58pm instead of 6:22pm.
Hide sections
If you’re not using an external webcam to monitor your FarmBot, you can remove the webcams section from the controls panel to save space. If your FarmBot does not have any sensors (such as FarmBot Express), you can hide the sensors panel as well.
Read speak logs in browser
commands can optionally speak the message aloud. The audio can be heard from the Raspberry Pi’s 3.5mm audio jack, and using this setting, output using your computer speakers as well.
This feature may not be available in some web browsers. We’re sorry for the inconvenience.
Discard unsaved changes
Enabling this setting will prevent a browser dialog from asking about unsaved work before closing the browser tab. Warning: may cause loss of data.
Confirm emergency unlock
Disabling this setting will prevent a browser dialog from asking for confirmation when using the button after an emergency stop.
User interface read-only mode
Enabling this setting will prevent data changes to your account, such as modifying or deleting sequences or garden layouts. This setting does not prevent Farmwares or FarmBot OS from changing settings, or the manual control buttons from working.
This setting may be useful when setting up a demonstration computer for members of the public to control a FarmBot, or in a school setting where an instructor wishes to protect the account from accidental changes from students.
Reset your account
Resetting your account will permanently delete all of your sequences, regimens, events, tools, logs, and farm designer data. All app settings and device settings will be reset to default values. This is useful if you want to delete all data to start from scratch while avoiding having to fully delete your account, re-signup, and re-configure your FarmBot.
Note that when FarmBot syncs after resetting your account, your FarmBot will delete all of its stored Sequences, etc, because your account will no longer have any of these resources until you create new ones. Furthermore, upon reset any customized device settings will be immediately overwritten with the default values downloaded from the reset web app account.
Resetting an account is irreversible.
Delete your account
Permanently delete your account and all of its data. If you have a FarmBot connected to this account, it should be soft reset before the account is deleted. Otherwise you may need to reflash the microSD card to reconnect it to a new account.

Automatic account deletion
As a matter of security, web app accounts that are not being used are subject to automatic deletion with the following process:
1) Checking for eligibility
- If the account has never had a FarmBot connected to it, the account becomes eligible to be deleted 3 months after the last login.
- If the account has had a FarmBot connected to it at least once, the account becomes eligible to be deleted 11 months after the last login.
2) Grace period
Once the account becomes eligible for deletion, an email will be sent with the subject [ACTION REQUIRED] Your FarmBot account will be deleted due to inactivity unless you login. To halt the automatic deletion process, the user must login.
3) Deletion If the user does not login to their account within 14 days of the warning email, the account will be automatically deleted and cannot be recovered.
