User manual
Everything you need to get the most out of your Tinajón Pro: from installing the app and pairing your pump, to the cloud extras, Telegram and troubleshooting.
The app screenshots in this manual show the Spanish interface. The app follows your phone's language — every screen you see here exists in English too, with the same layout.
What is Tinajón Pro?
Tinajón Pro is a smart controller for residential water pumps. It measures your tank level with an ultrasonic sensor, switches the pump on and off automatically, and lets you monitor and control everything from your phone — no more climbing to the roof or guessing how much water is left.
With the app you can:
- See the tank level in real time, wherever you are.
- Turn the pump on and off, or let it manage itself in automatic mode.
- Adjust thresholds, calibration and pump protections.
- Set block schedules (for example, never start the pump overnight).
- Share control with your family, with or without internet.
- Get Telegram alerts and push notifications when something happens.
It works without internet. Tinajón Pro was designed for places where internet isn't guaranteed: everything essential (measuring, switching, configuring) works on your local network or on the device's own private network. The cloud is optional and only adds extras: history, remote control and Telegram.
If you'd rather start with a more narrative introduction before the step-by-step, the blog post Welcome to Tinajon Pro tells the same story with more context.
The device
- OLED display showing everything at a glance: level, pump status, connection.
- Buzzer for sound alerts.
- Two buttons — START/STOP and MODE — with combinations to restart, reset WiFi or restore factory settings (see Troubleshooting).
What you need before starting
- Your Tinajón Pro installed and powered on (the electrical and sensor installation is covered in the installation guide included with the device).
- An Android or iOS phone with WiFi.
- The Tinajon Pro app — download it from Google Play or the App Store.
No account needed to start. You can pair and use your pump without signing up. The free account is only for the cloud extras: remote control, history and Telegram.
