The [Module Store](../components/management-console.md) must be opened for this. It is located in the upper right area. The Gardena smart system module can be found via the search field by entering "Gardena smart system". When opening the found module, the installation of the module can be initiated in the following dialog via the "Install" button. ![Find module](https://www.symcon.de/media/pages/service/dokumentation/modulreferenz/geraete/gardena-smart-system/8e80308c4d-1790424938/gardena-module.png) ![Install module](https://www.symcon.de/media/pages/service/dokumentation/modulreferenz/geraete/gardena-smart-system/dddc8012f6-1790424938/gardena-module-install.png) The add dialog for creating a Gardena configurator instance then opens. If the instance is to be added manually, an [Instance](../concepts.md) must be created by the Gardena configurator. To do this, the object tree must first be opened. Here, the "+" button at the bottom right must be pressed and [Instance](../concepts.md) selected. ![Add instance](https://www.symcon.de/media/pages/service/dokumentation/modulreferenz/geraete/gardena-smart-system/b13a9a6cc7-1790424938/alexa-add-instance.png) The "Gardena Configurator" from the manufacturer "Gardena" can be found using the quick search. The location should not be changed, the name can be chosen freely. Finally, confirm with "OK". ![Create instance](https://www.symcon.de/media/pages/service/dokumentation/modulreferenz/geraete/gardena-smart-system/9d6ae06c01-1790424938/gardena-create-instance.png) After the configurator instance has been created, it automatically opens and can be set up. #### Set up GARDENA configurator-instance Before devices can be created, they must be registered by clicking on Register in order to connect IP-Symcon to the Husqvarna Group account. ![Connect Symcon](https://www.symcon.de/media/pages/service/dokumentation/modulreferenz/geraete/gardena-smart-system/575e891d20-1790424938/gardena-register.png) One has to log in with the Husqvarna Group account in order to grant IP-Symcon the necessary authorizations. ![Login](https://www.symcon.de/media/pages/service/dokumentation/modulreferenz/geraete/gardena-smart-system/5212264a0d-1790424938/gardena-login.png) ![Grant access](https://www.symcon.de/media/pages/service/dokumentation/modulreferenz/geraete/gardena-smart-system/65719375f6-1790424938/gardena-grant-access.png) The "Configure Interface" dialog can then be confirmed with Next. Now the created WebSocket Client has to be activated. ![WebSocket Client](https://www.symcon.de/media/pages/service/dokumentation/modulreferenz/geraete/gardena-smart-system/852491e752-1790424938/gardena-websocket.png) Now the configurator opens and all recognized devices can be created with a click on "Create". ![Configurator](https://www.symcon.de/media/pages/service/dokumentation/modulreferenz/geraete/gardena-smart-system/42e1859e64-1790424938/gardena-configurator.png) ### Troubleshooting #### Variables are no longer updated The connection to the Husqvarna service can be re-established in the Gardena Cloud instance by clicking on 'Reset WebSocket'. ### Supported Devices * [smart Irrigation Control](gardena-smart-system.md) * [smart Water Control](gardena-smart-system.md) * [smart Pump](gardena-smart-system.md) * [smart Sensor](gardena-smart-system.md) * [smart Mower](gardena-smart-system.md) * [smart Power Socket](gardena-smart-system.md) ## smart Irrigation Control Source: https://www.symcon.de/en/service/documentation/module-reference/devices/gardena-smart-system/smart-irrigation-control/ _Requires Symcon >= 6.0_ > **Note:** Since the Gardena API does not transmit the schedules created in the app, irrigation plans can be implemented using the [weekly schedule](../concepts.md) and the actions provided. ### Description The smart irrigation control device offers various services in IP-Symcon which, for example, make it possible to identify the status of the device or switch the various valves. ### Services An instance can be created for each service using the configurator.
