Lumary WiFi Water Timer - Customize Your Watering Schedule

In all seriousness, this timer is fantastic. I love that it handles two zones at one time, the user interface is pretty easy to get used to once you try it, and it hasn't failed me yet. I really like it, and will likely get another.

Works as described, is nice because it can be controlled via an app on your phone.

I've tried other similar water timers that worked OK but did not allow for remote control via iPhone because of max distance of timer from bluetooth device.I tried this brand because 1) it advertised 50 range from deice to bluetooth 2) it used 4 AA batteries rather than 2 (more batteries, more power, longer distance (i assumed)). Took all of two minutes to set up inside my house: plug in blue tool device, add device to app on iphone, activate timer by pressing button till lights blink, then add timer to bluetooth device. Then moved everything to garage and outdoor gardens.Easy to set up manual run by selectin time (which is remembered) and then pressing manual in app.Easy to set up automation by adding auto-time where you enter what time you want it to start, how long, and when (selected days, every day, every other day, even days, odd days). Just set and forget.The instructions that come in the package say to download and use the Lumary app but I hate having lots of apps, each of which runs one manufacturers device. II already had the SmartLife app (available from iPhone store) installed that runs lights, plugs, etc in my house and thought I'd give that a try. Worked like a charm!. So now I have all my automation (except for two Kaza plugs) controlled by one app.Once I installed I also went to the app and connected it to Alexa (actually it adds an Alexa skill for the water timer) and now I can control timer via voice from Alexa.Cannot comment on durability as I've only had it for a day.As for service ... cannot say good things now. Tried going to Lumary web site and chat to see if SmartLife was supported and whether they sell package with just time, not with blue tooth device as the one device will control multiple timers. Entered my question and waited 15 minutes and no response so I gave up and just gave it a try.Additional infomation: After doing the install you now have sis devices defined:- 2 Lamary Water Timers- For each timer, 2 zones named zone 1 & zone 2These can easily be renamed to make it easier to rememer which is whic. For eample:- Left garden timer-Left zone 1-Left zone2- Back garden timer- Back zone 1- Back zone 2Overall this is a nicely design timer although a bit more expensive than other timers.Update: Added third timer; took about 2 minutes and all three are working fine and controllable from my iPhone.

If you have any home automation you most likely already have life smart app. I was able to setup the device without the timer valve app. It automatically detected with no issue. Has all the options. Really like everything about this device. Just what I wanted.

We needed a remote-control solution to keep plants watered when away and chose this 2-port smart sprinkler after reviewing other similar products.It requires a small gateway (included) to make a connection with your home WiFi network. The gateway must be plugged into a wall electrical outlet that is in range of both WiFi access and sprinkler access. My gateway is located about 10 feet from the sprinker with two walls in between, and the connection seems strong. Four AA batteries are needed for the sprinker (not included).Setup had to be repeated more than a couple of times with the iPhone app before everything worked. We connected water hoses and sprinklers to each water flow port and confirmed each port could be individually controlled using WiFi or cell phone network connections. Everything worked well. It takes at least 5 seconds after startup for the app to connect to the sprinkler, which is good enough. Thinking about buying another one.
