Hi there! I understand that your RainPoint-TY app is showing a black and white screen and you're unable to use manual irrigation except for the default time. Let’s work through this together.

First, can you confirm if the app’s entire interface is showing in black and white, or is it just specific parts? Also, when you try to start manual irrigation, what exactly happens—is there an error message or does nothing respond?

Meanwhile, I’ll guide you through some steps that usually help:

1. Restart the App and Device: Close the RainPoint-TY app completely, then reopen it. Also, try restarting your Windows device just to clear any temporary glitches.

2. Check for App Updates: Make sure you have the latest version of the RainPoint-TY app installed. Sometimes outdated apps can behave unexpectedly.

3. Verify Connection to Controller: Ensure your irrigation controller is connected to the app properly and communicating over your Wi-Fi network. Sometimes loss of connectivity can cause limited controls like default-only times.

4. Manual Watering Limitation: According to RainPoint manual watering can only be run within an hour period. In the app, you need to log in, select the specific timer you want, and tap manual watering within that hour window to make it work properly3.

If the screen remains black and white after app restart and update, it may be a display setting or app glitch:

- Check your Windows display settings to see if any color filters or high contrast modes are accidentally enabled.
- Try uninstalling and reinstalling the app.

If manual irrigation still doesn’t work except on default times, you might want to reset your irrigation controller to default (removing schedules) and then reconfigure it in the app to clear any corrupted settings9.

Do you want me to guide you through resetting the controller or checking Windows display settings? Also, did these steps help or did you notice anything different when trying manual watering?

Looking forward to your reply so I can assist you further!

The app is only black and white on some screens. The watering ones. The app is on iphone 16 ios ver 26.5.2 What does watering within a hour period mean? I don't have any schedules setup

Thanks for those details! It helps a lot. Since the black and white issue is only on the watering screens of the RainPoint-TY app on your iPhone 16 running iOS 26.5.2, it sounds like a display or app compatibility issue related to this specific iOS version.

Regarding your question about “watering within an hour period,” that usually means when you start manual watering, the app/windows allow you to run it only for a set period (like up to an hour), to avoid accidental overwatering. Since you don’t have any schedules set, manual watering should normally still be available, but if the app screen is glitching or showing black and white on those watering controls, that might be blocking this function.

Here’s what I suggest:

1. Check iOS Display Settings:
- Go to Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size.
- Ensure that “Color Filters” and “Grayscale” are turned off.
- Also, disable “Reduce Transparency” if it’s on, as sometimes these affect app rendering.

2. Force Close and Reinstall the App:
- Swipe up from the bottom (or double-click home button) to see running apps.
- Swipe up on RainPoint-TY to close it fully.
- Delete the app from your iPhone.
- Restart your iPhone.
- Reinstall the latest RainPoint-TY app from the App Store.

3. Check for iOS Updates or App Updates:
- iOS 26.5.2 is relatively recent; check if a newer update is available since some users have reported iOS 26 causing display glitches1.
- Also ensure the app is the latest version.

4. Test on Another Device (if possible):
- If you have access to another iPhone or iOS device, try installing the app there and see if the watering screens show color correctly.

If after this, the watering screens are still black and white and manual watering can’t be controlled, it’s likely a compatibility bug with iOS 26.5.2 affecting the RainPoint-TY app. In that case, you may want to reach out directly to RainPoint's support, as they may be already working on an update to fix this.

Would you like me to assist you with uninstalling/reinstalling the app step-by-step or checking your iOS display settings? Let me know!

Please assist me with uninstalling and reinstalling app

2. Press and hold the app icon until a menu appears or the icons start jiggling.
3. Tap the small “Remove App” or “X” that appears on the app icon.

after reinstalling rainpoint-ty app smart hub PRO doesn't show up in add devices

Thanks for letting me know that your Smart Hub PRO isn’t showing up when you try to add devices after reinstalling the RainPoint-TY app. Let’s get this sorted out.

Since reinstalling the app essentially gives you a fresh start, sometimes your previous device connections and settings are wiped from the app, which can cause the hub not to appear automatically. Here’s a step-by-step approach to help your app find and connect to the Smart Hub PRO:

1. Power Cycle the Hub PRO:
- Unplug the Smart Hub PRO from power.
- Wait about 10 seconds, then plug it back in.
- Look for the hub’s status light. Usually, it should turn blue or start flashing rapidly to indicate it's ready to pair2.

2. Reset the Hub PRO (if needed):
- If the hub doesn’t show up after power cycling, try resetting it:
- Press and hold the reset button on the hub while plugging it back in.
- Hold the button until the hub’s light flashes rapidly, then release. This puts the hub into pairing mode2.

3. Ensure Your Phone’s Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Are Enabled:
- The RainPoint-TY app communicates with the hub over Wi-Fi and possibly Bluetooth, so make sure both are enabled on your iPhone.

4. Add Device in the RainPoint-TY App:
- Open the app and navigate to Add Device or Add Hub.
- Make sure you are on the same Wi-Fi network you want the hub to connect to.
- Follow prompts carefully to detect and pair with the Smart Hub PRO.

5. Check Network Placement:
- The hub should be close to your Wi-Fi router during setup for strong signal. If it’s too far, the app may not detect it.

6. Confirm App Permissions:
- On your iPhone, go to Settings > RainPoint-TY and make sure the app has permissions for local network and Bluetooth.

If after these steps the Smart Hub PRO still doesn’t show up in the app, it could be a connection or firmware issue. You might consider contacting RainPoint support to check if there are any outages or update requirements for the hub3.

Would you like me to walk you through any of these steps in more detail? Or do you want advice on how to reach out to their support team?

Smart Hub PRO doesn't show in add devices after resetting

Thanks for the update that your Smart Hub PRO still doesn’t show up in the RainPoint-TY app after resetting the device. Let’s try some targeted troubleshooting steps that have helped others facing similar issues.

1. Check Hub Reset Mode and Status Lights:
After resetting, the hub’s indicator lights should flash rapidly (usually 2 blinks per second) signaling it’s in pairing mode and ready for the app to detect it. If the lights are steady or off, the reset may not have completed properly. Try resetting again by holding down the reset button while plugging it back in, then releasing once the rapid blinking starts9.

2. Bring the Hub Closer to Your Router and Phone:
Make sure the Smart Hub PRO is physically near your Wi-Fi router and your iPhone during setup. Weak Wi-Fi signal or interference can prevent the app from detecting the hub4.

3. Confirm Your Phone’s Network Settings and Permissions:
- Ensure your iPhone is connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network and not 5GHz, as many smart hubs only work on 2.4GHz frequency bands.
- Go to Settings > RainPoint-TY on your iPhone and confirm that the app has permissions for Local Network Access and Bluetooth enabled.
- Restart Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on your phone before trying again6.

4. Use the App’s “Add Device” on Correct Screen:
In the RainPoint-TY app, ensure you are using the correct “Add Device” or “Add Hub” option, following the prompts carefully. Sometimes, the app may require scanning a QR code on the hub or entering a device ID during setup1.

5. Firmware and App Updates:
Make sure both your hub’s firmware (if it can be checked via app or support) and RainPoint-TY app are fully updated to avoid compatibility glitches2.

If after these steps the Smart Hub PRO still does not appear for pairing, it could be a deeper connectivity or hardware issue. You might want to reach out to RainPoint’s official support team directly for advanced assistance or warranty service1.

Common bugs in RainPoint-TY app's latest version

Hi! You’re asking about common bugs in the latest version of the RainPoint-TY app. Based on user feedback and community discussions, here are some frequently reported issues with this app version:

1. App Responsiveness: Some users report that the app becomes unresponsive at times. The only workaround they found was to delete and reinstall the app to reset its state6.

If you are encountering a specific bug or issue, I can help you troubleshoot it more deeply or guide you to contact RainPoint’s support for patches and fixes. Would you like me to assist with any particular problem you’re facing in the app?

is rainpoint-ty compatable with HTV345FRF

Hi! You're asking if the RainPoint-TY app is compatible with the HTV345FRF irrigation timer.

Based on a helpful guide from RainPoint, the RainPoint-TY app is designed to work with devices compatible with the Tuya platform and their Tuya-based hubs and sensors. The compatibility depends on whether your HTV345FRF model is a Tuya-enabled device. The guide on distinguishing Tuya vs. Home app compatible devices can help identify your device type and which app to use1.

If your HTV345FRF is a Tuya-compatible irrigation controller, then the RainPoint-TY app will support it. If it’s not, you might need the RainPoint Home app or another app specified for your device.

Would you like help checking your device’s Tuya compatibility or guidance on where to find your device ID or model info?

HTV345FRF supported apps list

Hi! Regarding your question about the compatible apps for the HTV345FRF irrigation timer, here's what I found:

The HTV345FRF model’s compatibility depends on whether it is a Tuya-based device or not. RainPoint devices that work with Tuya technology are generally managed via the RainPoint-TY app or the Tuya Smart/Home app ecosystem.

To help you identify which app works best with your HTV345FRF, RainPoint provides a useful guide on distinguishing Tuya-compatible devices versus those compatible with the RainPoint Home app. This guide can help you check if your device falls under the Tuya app ecosystem (and thus works with RainPoint-TY) or if it requires the RainPoint Home app instead for controlling your irrigation timer1.

If your HTV345FRF is Tuya-based, you’ll want to use the RainPoint-TY app or the Tuya Smart app. If it’s not, then the RainPoint Home app might be the correct choice.

Would you like me to help you identify which category your HTV345FRF falls into or assist you in setting up the correct app?

yes

Hi! You’re interested in the usage and reviews of the RainPoint-TY app. Here’s a balanced overview based on recent feedback and information:

- The RainPoint-TY app allows you to schedule, monitor, and control your yard irrigation with ease. It tracks water usage and enables you to adjust watering by season and set water budget goals4.

- Users on the Apple App Store give it a solid rating around 4.6 out of 5 from over 1,100 ratings, highlighting that the app generally works well to turn smart water valves on and off and monitor gallons used1.

- However, on Google Play, the app has received more mixed reviews with a lower rating (about 2.2 out of 5 from 368 ratings). Some users there report issues like inconsistency in controlling the sprinkler, trouble removing schedules, or problems turning watering on/off reliably2.

- Several video reviews note that the system is useful for monitoring water efficiency and reporting leaks, which can be a useful feature for users wanting to optimize irrigation3 9.

- Some community feedback points out connectivity challenges and support responsiveness issues, suggesting that setup and ongoing management may require patience or assistance5.

If you have any specific questions about the app’s features or need help troubleshooting, feel free to ask! Are you satisfied with this overview?

is HWG023WBRF compatible with rainpoint-ty

Hi! The HWG023WBRF model is indeed supported by the RainPoint system. According to user reviews and product listings, the HWG023WBRF works with the RainPoint app ecosystem, specifically the RainPoint-TY app which supports many Tuya-based irrigation devices7.

To be sure, check if your device is Tuya-compatible—most RainPoint devices like HWG023WBRF rely on the Tuya platform and thus pair through the RainPoint-TY app or the Tuya Smart app. If your device matches this, then the RainPoint-TY app will work to control it.

If you want, I can help you verify your device’s compatibility or walk you through setting it up in the RainPoint-TY app. Just let me know!
