Event scheduling

It would not be convenient for you to manually initiate your sequences every time you want them to execute. This is where event scheduling comes in to help.

If you’ve ever used a calendar application before, you’ll feel right at home with this. Simply choose the sequence or regimen you would like to execute, and schedule it to run on a one-off or repeating basis.

Be sure to press the SYNC NOW button at the top of the page to sync the newly created event with the device so that it will be executed!

Don't forget to SYNC

Before your FarmBot can start executing the events you have created, you will need to share the data with the device. Press the SYNC NOW button in the upper right of the web app. If the sync was successful, the button will display SYNCED.
