Makes life easier being able to control through an app. Not great if the distance to your router is at the extreme of its range so I have need to add another router, but otherwise really good. Easy to use and set up
For the money this is an amazing piece of kit.
The App is well written, intuitive and informative.
So far (3 months in) there’s been no issue with the hardware installation and it continues to please.
To ba able to operate from anywhere in the world that has internet access is just brilliant.
Not the easiest device to setup on the Smart Life app, but once setup, it works very well, I didn’t experience any issues of water pressure or leaks.
I would buy this again.
It is quite easy to set up of you are familiar with setting up smart devices and connecting them to either Google home or Amazon, I personally standardise with Google products.
So impressed with this water system, at last I can control my irrigation even when I’m away. Case in point, I left the UK for a fortnight in a drought and came home to torrential rains. While away I was able to stop the watering for a few days. Perfect.
Exceeded my expectations, works with google voice and Alexa seamlessly you only have to wait a while the first time you connect the device to Wi-Fi and then after that it never disappoints
This unit might take a few extra minutes to hookup. Instructions aren’t always perfectly clear, but once up and running it has performed well after 12 days. Easy to schedule and a quick push of the faucet icon will turn on or shut the water off quickly. Great for chasing squirrels out of the yard. You must connect this unit at 2.4ghz Despite some negative answers here, this unit, once connected at 2.4ghz, will let you reset your router for 5g and 2.4ghz speeds. Typical for most security cameras, doorbells ect.
Once you set up your “Smart Life” account, configure the HUB, and start up the app… Select the hub and “ADD DEVICE” on the HUB brings up the list of devices as shown in the pictures. If you can’t get to the list of devices, then you probably entered the wrong password for your WIFI connection (like I did)! And the reference to two lights flashing refer to the lights on the timer. So press and hold one of the buttons on the timer until the two lights start flashing sequentially to put the timer in pairing mode.
I was concerned about distance, but my HUB is plugged into an inside wall outlet with a straight line shot of nearly 60 feet to the timer ands it works perfectly. Also noted that the Johgee Dual Water Timer passes more than twice the volume of water than the old 3-zone Orbit Timer it was replacing… my sprinklers now spray more than twice as far! On the flakey 3-zone Orbit timer, zone 1 stopped turning off and had to be capped. The other 2-zones occasionally randomly exhibit erratic flows when they are turned on, and sometimes don’t turn off completely, dribbling water continuously out to the sprinklers!
But be very careful when you thread the hose couplings on to the Johgee timer threads. I tried several times noting the coupling was going on crookedly and binding. When straight with the threads, they go on easily, tighten up, and don’t leak. Forcing a cross-threaded coupler on the plastic threads will destroy the threads and cause permanent leaks!
Very happy with my purchase, so I’m going to replace all of my manual Digital ORBIT Timers!
This was one of the cheaper on the market, at below 12 price of the normal brand competitors. Packaging was suitable and simple.
There are three components. The Bluetooth irrigation timer, the wifi gateway, and the app.
You have to connect to the WiFi hub via Bluetooth to program it. you then give it your WiFi password and it will talk to the cloud app and your phone.
I think the WiFi hub needs to be close to the irrigation timer to talk to it over Bluetooth.
Once the WiFi hub is setup, then when you put batteries in the irrigation timer it becomes visible to the hub. You have to add the timer to the hub to make it fully accessible.
Once you create an account in the app you can create schedules patterns, delay if it’s cloudy and set timed delays so water can soak in, rather than just run off.
It’s a surprisingly polished app.
I am surprised that it does not give you any information about water usage, no flow rates, settings for litres or gallons or water consumption over time.
Those are not advertised features, but as an irrigation timer, they are features that could have been expected in such a device.
All in all, worth the investment to be able to water your garden autonomously or remotely.
Best paired with a permeable hose or drip irrigation system.
I connected this up to a sprinkler in my greenhouse as I was going on holiday. Works so well waters my plants at 2300 while cool. If I want to give them extra just a pus of a button on my phone. Worth every penny
