Remote control saves time

Would Recommend

Thought about it for years and finally pulled the trigger. Shouldn't have waited so long. Saves a lot of time when adjusting sprinkler heads and fixing drip lines. From the back yard with my phone I can start a valve, observe the leaks, stop the valve, fix the leaks, and start the valve to check. Saves trips running to the garage to manually turn valves on and off. Also came in handy when a heat spell hit and I was on a trip; was able to increase the water from hundreds of miles away. App...

The app needs some work. It has a problem, saving

A lot more compact than the one I replaced, and it had Wi-Fi

Works for the simplest of applications

Would Not Recommend

You are limited to 4 programs for no reason other than that's how they programmed the device. Within the programs, you cannot determine the order the zones run in, it auto-assigns the order the zones run by numerical order. With 12 zones and only 4 program options and the fact that you cant determine the order the zones run, this thing is a massive piece of junk. I checked with customer service to verify that this timer really is this useless and they confirmed.

Good timer, but WiFi isn't great

Would Recommend

This has been a great timer so far; the automatic watering based on weather works well. The only downside is the WiFi doesn't have very good distance.

Yes - but dont expect it to last

Would Recommend

I like the Wifi option and being able to control the sprinklers from my phone and I am familiar with this unit. My biggest complaint is that the last unit I bought didnt even last 5 years.

I receivd an empty box!

After picking up the item from the locker, I drove straight home. When I opened the box, there was nothing inside, just an empty cardboard box! The seal had been broken!

50% failure rate - cannot pair second phone

Would Not Recommend

I have several properties and these sprinkler controllers wok for about 2 year (just out of warranty) and die. 2 out of our 4 controllers have gone bad. One issue is the inability to pair a second phone to a given device. That means instead of my renters being able to adjust the program when needed, i have to go do it. Lastly, the app, I feel is pretty poor. It does do the job after a lot of fumbling about and learning the app, just not real intuitive. On the slight upside the Orbit custome...

Water timer with app

Works well and seems to be well made... just a little pricy. I have 2 of these: A 12 zone and a 6 zone. Both were easily programmable on my phone app.

FINALLY an irrigation timer that I can control from my smartphone! It’s easy to understand. No more fiddling with settings outside at the control box in the hot AZ summer. I got a sizable rebate from the water company!
