I don’t understand how some can leave less than 5 stars review here. Absolutely brilliant product !
It worked well and is easy to set up and control.
Easy to set up daily irrigation. Note two stages, WiFi and Bluetooth needed. And download the app. Then Remote and at home adjustments been a dream. Nothing died under its management.
Slight fiddle to set up through Wi-Fi but the Bluetooth connection got me up and running very quickly. Flexible timer options and a simple button on the unit for manual switch on. Not sure what else I need.
Look forward to seeing how it uses battery. Would also like to know (as with all these units) how fails safe it is – but other reviews indicate it should be reliable.
Working good so far, some drops happen for connecting otherwise good
This is a purchase I wish I had known about.
After setting it up to forgetting it is attached , it comes on and switches itself off.
Brilliant.
The manual is confusing many ways and needs improvement.
What you have to understand is:
1. That you are Installing a WiFI framework (linking the general purpose SmartLife app (download/install) to the internet through the supplied gateway (the little device plugged into the mains).
2. Then install the water timer (or any other SmartLife compatible device) using Bluetooth (be close to the timer for this purpose).
Once done, you don’t need Bluetooth anymore and can set the SmartLife app to connect remotely via internet to your Water Timer.
Once set up, this water timer works very well with minimal battery drainage.
Uses Bluetooth -set at home before going away
Perhaps would be even better to have one I could control remotely via internet to avoid unnecessary usage ie on rainy days
Still I’m very happy with item
Works great and easy to use. Wish there was a little more control automatically when it rains.

I liked everything about this except for the fact that it only stays on for a short while with the override button. Other than that, great product.
Physical installation was easy as pie.
Pop in the batteries, screw it to my (new) out-side tap, attach the water pipe work.
Plug the little hub thingy in under my kitchen sink, half way between my internet hub and the valve.
It then took over an hour and a half to actually rig up the watering pipe work, but that has nothing to do with the timer, and more to do with my ineptitude. I fix cars, I am not a plant irrigation expert.
Getting the app to pair with the hub and timer was a one of those ‘why on Earth is this so freaking hard? WORK you forking things!!” But eventually I managed to get my iPad to see the hub and valve, and I also assume each other, in the app.
That also took about an hour and a half. Technology. Sigh.
Setting the watering schedule was then easy. Monday to Sunday, 10 minutes, 9pm.
I am not sure if it dislikes rechargeable Duracell batteries, or if the ones I installed are past their best. It reported a freshly charged set at 34% – out of the charger.. I have some brand new ones on charge, will see if they do last better.
I theory it should pop up a notification of flat batteries, so I will wait to see if it actually does.
The app strikes me as one of those bits of software written by someone who has an IQ through the roof, and not one ounce of common sense. It’s like designing the best ever bonnet release handle in the world for a car, and then putting it in the boot, under the carpet, under the spare wheel. Lovely handle. Most inaccessible location possible.
One thing I completely fail to understand is why it needs a second box to work.
If I speak English, and you speak English we do not need an interpreter in order to speak to each other.
ADDITIONAL info:
The brand new batteries were no better. Flat in under a week.
You can not successfully use 1.2V rechargeable NiMH batteries in this. It sees the 1.2v as ‘almost flat’ and then shuts down after a few days of use, even though (in theory) they still have plenty of life left in them, because the voltage has dropped too low.
I got some Lithium rechargeable batteries, that output 1.5v. Now the app reports that the timer has fully charged batteries when the batteries are actually fully charged. I’ll see how long they last.
I refuse to use single use batteries. Waste of resources, hazardous waste.
This is good value for money at 60.
I found the wifi hub connected very quickly and easily through the SmartLife app, and I’m lucky that the little wifi hub is plugged into an electrical socket on the other side of the wall to the tap and the valve. Try to keep the wifi hub as close to the valve as possible.
I use this to control a flowerbed irrigation system and it works very well. I use the SmartLife app for a number of other wifi devices (interior lights and exterior lights) and this integrates just as easily as the others. If there is one weakness in the software it’s that although it has the weather data available it isn’t quite clever enough at automatically not watering the flowers when it’s rainy weather. You have to pause the schedule manually, although this is easy enough using the app.
The batteries have lasted weeks so far.
Next step for me is to find out if I can daisy-chain to a Bluetooth version of the valve on a second tap, or if I need a second wifi version with its own wifi hub. Hopefully the former.
The bluetooth option is easy to programme from the app. It does what is supposed to do plus you can check it worked on the irrigation history. Only had it a week but very happy so far. With the Bluetooth you can only adjust the timer if your app is “live” however it will operate normally if out of range.

Have had the timer for a few weeks now and seems to work as expected will see how long the battery life is but so far it’s gone down 10% since installed.
Great product easy to setup via the app . Keeps my plants watered during global warming
This unit is easy to set up. Mobile app works really well. Great choice of watering options. Also you can override the presets you’ve set up. The Wi-Fi hub and watering device need to be relatively close as they connect using Bluetooth, so not great for going through thick walls.
Easy to set up and controls watering precisely to my chosen schedule via the Smart Life app. However, the schedule can only be programmed and adjusted when my phone is in range of the device, which isn’t helpful if I’m away from home. I purchased the timer on the assumption I could control it remotely, like my Nest thermostat. Instead I receive a “Device Connection Failure” warning, although the timer will stick to the predetermined schedule.
Excellent gadget. The button for pairing also functions as open/close control – very useful but not mentioned in the instructions. Only feature missing is that there is no indication on the unit to show if it is open or closed.

Really great bit of tech.
The smart life app needs some work as seems to freeze a bit, and it can also take a couple of attempts for Alexa to turn on and off.
All that said it’s still a great bit of tech and my garden is watered at 3am everyday and is looking great !!!!

Good value for money. The setup allows for water control from your smartphone. It looks like the platform can be expanded by other smart home accessories.
Easy to install and set up using the app, which I already used for other smart devices, but there is one gripe in that the hose connectors don’t secure into the usual push fit fittings as sold by places like B&Q etc. I ended up having to use the old connectors from my previous timers.

I have now installed two of these to drive soaker hoses. I’ve been using these for over a month now and it has completely taken the worry out of watering my beds. I’m planning to buy a third one to drive a drip irrigation system for my container plants.
You only need one WiFi device and the rest of them can be Bluetooth ones. This is because the WiFi one comes with a Bluetooth hub (controller) which connects to other Bluetooth valves.

My old water computer was leaking and malfunctioning – time for a new one. I am used to 100 plus machines with LCD screens, tiny writing and menus. This thing is super simple to install, everything is done in the phone app so no more squinting and bending down trying to program it. Loads of options – all simple to use and I was watering my garden withing 15 mins of opening the box. NB for this model you do need WiFi and a smart phone or tablet. Slight update to the English here and there in the written manual in the box needed, but a super labour saving next gen device for half the price of my old one. Nothing not to like!

Inital setup was no problem at all, manual and timer functions work as they should, however when away from home there was no way of knowing if the timer function had worked as the ‘ what for bluetooth cnnection’ message blocked the screen visability for last and next activation and could not clear as it had no bluetooth connection, could also not get it to work via Alexa even though it stated it was registerd and connected.
Really easy to set up Alexa discovered it just as quick wanted a controller to turn on and off a water tap so I can automate my garden watering this is perfect and cheaper than some of the others battery life so far very good entering 3rd month blue tooth is not that great between hub and controller luckily I have plenty of spare outside sockets and the hub is small enough to fit inside an MK double waterproof socket not much bigger than a standard plug but I couldn’t get it to conect from inside my house one single brick wall 8 meters away.
This WiFi water time is great. Its very easy to install and easy to use. OK it’s not too fancy, but I will be able to water my plants when I’m away and control it from my phone. Does exactly what I wanted it do. Brilliant!
Easy to install, easy to setup, occasionally it takes a while for the app to connect to the device, but for timers it’s brilliant. Highly recommend this produc
Changed from an Orbit that I found unreliable. This one is good quality and reliable.
Just keep in mind you need to be within Bluetooth range to make changes (when out of range it of course continues to work as programmed).
Very neat box, works well. Took me a while to download and link app. Instructions good but could be little better.
I have been looking for a wifi enabled water timer. Set up was easy, but you need a SmartThings account for it to work. It’s early days and no problems so far. They have replaced a hozelock timer which costs with only basic functionality and no Wi-Fi. I also bought an additional one and added it to the hub. For everyone interested you can buy the Bluetooth version and add it to the hub.
I found this the ice excellent and I ordered a second one a few days ago.
I integrated it really easily with Alexa and Home Assista
Works very well with existing tap. No leaks so far.
Loved how’s simple this was to set up and configure. Works flawlessly with immediate response from the app to turning water on or off. Plenty of control and interestingly has a soaker cycle which interrupts the watering for a period, set by you, to aid the absorption into the soil then restarting automatically until the end of the session.
Really can’t say enough about these. Bought two and have them covering the whole garden
Also easily hot swappable with a normal hose, just pressing the black button on the unit switch’s the water on or off so no need to disconnect etc if you just want to use the tap.
Cracking product at nearly half the price of competitors, thought I’d give it a try based on the price.
Does everything you’d expect / as described, only negative is that it’s a little tricky to setup and you have to bind the device to the gateway to be able to manage, other than that then cracking stuff.
Given a 3 on battery life as only been in a couple of week’s so to early / an unknown ATM.
A good quaitly built unit with easy Bluetooth setup on smartphone.
Will buy again.
