Ratings & Reviews for Orbit 1 Output Port Smart Compatible Stationary Hose end water timer

Worked great for the first couple weeks, then took batteries out becasue I wasn't using it. 2 weeks later put brand new batteries in and it won't power on at all. Reached out to Orbit in multiple ways and other than suggesting to try new batteries they have been zero help and unresponsive. Terrible product and terrible product support.

Junk

Got this plus the hub for Wi-Fi connectivity. This thing is horrible. I don’t even know where to start nor want to waste my time explaining. It’s not controllable through Wi-Fi and Bluetooth doesn’t work well. It doesn’t even show my sprinkler is running which if raining I can’t even stop it without going up to the unit and manually turn off. Horrible product! I just can’t believe with all the technology out they can’t get a simple sprinkler timer to function properly. Manual function works goo...

Avoid unless you have all afternoon for a help

The instructions are absolutely worthless. Nothing works when using them. If you call the help desk you get a promise of a call within an hour. Doesn’t happen. I bought one a month ago and it took most of the afternoon to get it working with that being a long wait for the return call. Trying to get a second one hooked up now and again no return call. I’m taking both back and try to find something that works.

Easy set up. Battery life is very good!

So far ive had a great experience with this timer. Very easy to set up and use.

This thing is pretty slick

I read several other reviews and problems other folks had. I was kind of skeptical, but i figured i would take it back if i had any issues. Yes the system doesn't work very well with BluetoothUnless you want to go to the window closet to the hydrant and wait for it to connect every time. One review said you have to use the hub for best results, and i agree. I purchased the hub, did the firmware updates followed the directions and had no problem settings it up. If i remember correctly after pairi...

Single hose control

this product works well independently and the blue tooth was easy to connect to my phone. The only disappointment was that it didn't connect to my WiFi and thus the main orbit irrigation system was not compatible. I ordered the G2 WiFi part from orbit and the two should work together as well as Alexa like the main irrigation program

Lasted 2 month

easy to program but like any other orbit timer it doesn't last this one started flashing the display and nothing would work after only 2 month...all other orbit timers lasted at least 1 year

Confusing

This timer is very confusing evening called help desk tried too walk me through it but it still would not set. I will definitely be returning this wish I could give it a ZERO then they tell me to try and have my landscaper to set it for me well what about when I want too change it to a different water schedule how does that help I need too know for myself maybe it really did come from ORBIT!!!!

Bluetooth won’t connect

Don’t buy this if you want to control it via the app and Bluetooth

Great sprinkler timer

I have no problem connecting to this timer. Easy to control and change settings. Helps me be consistent with watering my lawn. It's a game changer for me. Highly recommended.

Good, simple, dependable

Easy to program, test, and use. Ideal for lawn watering. Ideal for single-sprinkler operation, or single-hose operation. I use it for watering along the street edge of my lawn where it gets super-dry.
