4 Output Port Digital Hose
Would RecommendI pared this digital hose timer in and the B-hyve which it has to have to work and it works great! First time it would shut off after a minute, but we unplugged everything, plugged it back in and it works great!
non existent access to customer support
Would Not RecommendBought the hub and 2 units. I tried to see if I could login from a browser rather than the android app. It did not see my password as valid.

Great WiFi water timer

Malfunctions & Poor Customer Support
Would Not RecommendI bought 2 of four port timers plus the wi-fi hub. I invested a significant amount of money in this system. It was incredibly difficult to set up initially. I had to delete the timers from the app several times and start over before I finally had a functioning system. A couple weeks after installing we left for vacation for 12 days. I came home to find that my vegetable garden and potted plants had not been watered in quite a while. Everything is bone dry. BOTH timers have the same issue. They a...
