Review: Perfect Solution for Inaccessible Hose Bib/Newly Planted Watering Schedule - We have used these smart hose timers and Wi-Fi hub for so many purposes and love how simple and easy it is to use! Now we can’t imagine not having them! Important Note: you must buy the set with the Wi-Fi hub if it is your first time buying to get the full functionality! After that, you can just buy the smart hose timer and connect multiple smart hose timers to the same hub. We primarily got the smart hose timer and Wi-Fi hub because we have a hose bib installed in a place that is hard to reach. This smart hose timer allows us to do a “quick run” on the app and turn on the water from our phones without having to hop a fence. While we rely primarily on the app to turn on water, you are also able to push a button on the smart hose timer to turn on without using the app/wifi. Tip: if you have an iPhone, you are able to make a Quick Run shortcut. We’ve also used this to create schedules for watering new plants without having to run our larger irrigation systems (controlled by a Rachio controller so it’s all in the same easy to use app!). We put a small sprinkler at the end of a hose and used the app to create a schedule to water a new patch of sod without running the larger sprinkler system. We also have used it to create a schedule to water a newly planted tree without having to run the entire drip system and risk overwatering other plants. The app has so many options to customize watering schedules, including the ability to have it skip a run if rain is forecasted. Our smart hose timers have been sitting outside in the afternoon sun for almost 2 months and function well with no signs of sun or heat damage. The battery life is excellent and will last at least the entire growing season, probably longer. All you need is 2 AA batteries for each smart hose timer. We haven’t had any issues with water entering the battery compartment. The Wi-Fi hub plugs into an outlet indoors. We have ours plugged in the basement utility room near the Wi-Fi router and haven’t had any connection problems, but I’m sure this depends a lot on Wi-Fi quality. Overall, we highly recommend!
Review: Smart, easy, and works perfectly! - This Rachio hose timer is such a great upgrade for my yard! Setup was quick, and the app makes it super easy to control watering from anywhere. The connection is reliable, and I love being able to schedule watering times right from my phone. It’s perfect for keeping plants healthy without wasting water. Great quality and worth every penny!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the app show how many gallons of water were used after each run?**
A: I suppose it would depend on how may minutes you set it up to run each time.

**Q: Has anyone had an issue with the Wi-Fi I will be traveling for 2 months**
A: I've had 2 valves for a month and they've never skipped a beat with their 4 timers.  I've been out of town for 2 weeks and have verified their performance through the app and a camera on my security system. Hope this helps!

**Q: Can u install this Upside down**
A: Returned ours for a refund. Had internal water leak within a week.  Would not trust this brand.

**Q: What if it gets stolen? Is there a way to track it?**
A: Not that I know of. There’s no GPS in it that I can tell. I think every hose valve would have the same problem - this isn’t unique to this one.

### ⭐ Might be good if the hub power cords could actually power the hubs... I may never know
*by G***S on October 13, 2024*

I saw several rave reviews for these smart hubs, and ordered 5 of them with hubs on 27 Sep through Amazon. Finally, more than two weeks later, I received them today. I started reading through the installation pamphlet, and downloaded and installed the app. Then I had a sinking feeling of impending doom when I saw that one of the first instructions states what to do when the hub won't flash yellow, and your easy fix is to send a replacement, pretty much assuring me that you've had a lot of failures. Sure enough, the first one out of the box had a nonfunctioning hub. When fully plugged into the hub, the cord flops around like a dying fish, and it has never yet even had the starting blue light after many many tries, now after using two different power cords. It doesn't look like a problem with the cord, as the app suggested, but in the female receptors in the hubs themselves. I opened a second box, figuring all I really need is one hub, and found the cord attachment is just as floppy as the first. However, if put in a certain position, the blue light turns on with this one, followed by the yellow. But then it disconnects when I turn it over to scan the code. So, 0 for 2. And then, after all that, I get informed that it won't connect to any local networks, and stated it couldn't use 5G (really, in 2024?). It didn't clearly tell me the problem was it needed permission for precise location, but I opened the permission in my preferences and the app found our network. Great, except of course, the hub will not connect because of the pathetic connector. So after multiple roadblocks and batting 0 for 2 on the hubs, I have two empty boxes and two non-functioning smart controllers. I haven't even bothered opening the other three, figuring the odds are exceedingly small that they will be any better. Something related to the definition of stupidity. So I bit and sent for the replacement power cord, which means probably another two week delay, I'm betting. Given that the problem seems to be in the hubs, not in the cords, it seems likely this will fail as well. I'm considering just stuffing them back into the boxes and take them straight to the return box at Staples, but I really want these to work. So, I would give a 0 if I could. If the company steps up and provides a hub that actually works, it might pull out a 3.
