The GARDENA smart Water Control is an add-on product to an existing GARDENA Garden smart set network. If this is your first GARDENA smart set product, buy the smart Water Control set that also has the smart Gateway as this is the controller for the network. This relates mainly to the app through which you set up, control and receive information from your smart water timer. As with any technology and its associated software or app, some (often many) online reviewers have problems using the user interface of the app as well as the app not always being available. It’s a combination of the design of the app and personal taste in what the screens should look and act like.
Generally, the systems that tie into professionally-installed lawn sprinkler systems are a bit more advanced. In this article, we’re focusing more on the home DIY user who intends to hook up to a spigot. Realize this is an old thread but thought I’d throw my findings out here as well. The three options I see: This water timer has a large LCD screen, oversized dial, and easy controls that make programming a breeze. You can set the watering duration from 1 to 240 minutes, for every 6 hours, 12 hours or anywhere from 1 to 7 days. Along these lines, there’s the rain delay option that allows postponing the operation for 1, 2 or 3 days without interrupting the preset patterns. Functionally, it delivers the most consistent performance with its app, and how it syncs to the faucet or hose for smart watering.Advanced Programming–if you want the ability to set schedules over several days a week, such as water on every 2nd, 3rd,or on specific days, find a model with such functionality. On the other hand, if you want a basic water timer, then this feature might be less important and save you some money. What homeowners appreciate the most is that the Rainpoint sprinkler timer is very easy to install and program. The weather sense technology of the timer ensures that your plants get the required quantity of water. Similarly, you can set irrigation or mist mode of watering depending on the requirement. The three individual watering programs come in handy when you water the plants three times a day. The Rainpoint sprinkler timer is a faucet timer that can be controlled easily using bluetooth and an app on your smartphone. It can be programmed and connected by the helpful Rainpoint app, through which you can manage your watering schedule. The smart watering system of the timer ensures that your plants are not over watered. The timer senses the local weather forecast and moisture of the soil then waters the plants accordingly. An accompanying bluetooth soil sensor can be added onto the system for increased efficiency. The timer has three individual watering programs whereby you can set a fixed time in the morning, afternoon and evening. The mist and irrigation watering modes of the timer lets you water the plants according to the need.
Connect with the Gardena Smart sensor (sold separately), which helps monitor soil moisture levels making your system even more efficient and other items from the Gardena Smart range via the Gardena Smart Gateway (included).Includes RainRobot app to allow you to manage the system from your phone, such as turning on/off water or setting a schedule Powered by 3x AA batteries, get an entire season of watering out of this timer before needing to change batteries. Boost your garden's watering with the one push manual watering button easily accessible on the front of the unit. Some timer boxes have lights to let you know how low the battery is or how strong the signal is. Other timers have just a smooth front to the timer, and you need to access the app for all the information. Make sure that the timer app provides you with all the information you need to rethink your watering schedules in case your original one doesn’t provide the results that you need. The app (mobile and web) lets you view 90 days’ worth of flow rate, water usage and water cost so you can modify your watering schedule to suit your budget.
This system connects to a garden hose spigot and is controlled with an app available on iOS and Android. You can have an electrically powered water timer hardwired into your home system. This is usually recommended for water timers that accompany sprinkler systems. Zone quantity An integrated temperature sensor notifies you if frost is likely so you can protect your vulnerable plants overnight. Optimisation: The timer allows you to water your lawn at the optimal times. You don’t have to be home for your lawn to receive water. And with more advanced water timers, you can be sure to water your lawn the optimal amount. No over-watering or under-watering problems to worry about; these advanced timers can detect rain and moisture and adjust the amount of water that flows to the system. The manual “Water Now” button on the timer box lets you water the garden for the chosen amount of time right there and then.If you have a large lawn, you know how difficult it can be to keep it watered and well-maintained. When planting new grass seed or landscaping the job becomes multifold as you might need to water multiple times a day. The Rain bird sprinkler weighs all of 2.38 pounds and can be wall-mounted easily. The sprinkler timer comes with a transformer, mounting hardware, two AA batteries and instructions for easy set-up and programming. The Bottom Line The Rain Skip Watering mode lets you skip your scheduled watering sessions if it has rained or is forecast to rain in a specified future period. The biggest negative remark of the product is the timer leaking water as it does not always remain tight on the faucet. When installing it be sure to snuggly fit it to your house bib. As with most of these devices, a few other customers faced the problem of getting disconnected from wifi or Bluetooth. Often that is a result of the home network not being powerful enough outside. A. A water timer can connect to a garden hose, so it works well with individual sprinklers that you can move around your yard. However, a timer is also compatible with sprinkler systems and can be installed at the same time the system is set up.
