State: Manually Open
In this state the blue LED is blinking.
Switching to this state opens the valve regardless of the current soil moisture. This is useful for immediate watering, testing the irrigation system, or checking whether water reaches the intended emitters.
The valve can be closed again by pressing the button or it closes automatically after 15 minutes.
