Great timer/controller for watering.
Pros:
1) Easy to pair (depending on the app.) Easiest app is the BlissHome App
a) As soon as I plugged in the gateway, the BlissHome app found the gateway and added it.
Not so with the recommended Smart Life app.
b) BlissHome App, very little lag time. Press the faucet Icon, and 2 to 3 seconds later water is on/off.
2) Easy and Simple controls in the App itself.
a) Press the zone faucet icon and it turns on/off the zone.
b) Timer setting very simple with many functions.
Select Start Time
Select Duration (can be hours, minutes or a combination of bot)
Weekly Cycle, can be set to what every you need or to your local watering restrictions.
c) Multiple times can be setup for a single zone.
d) Rain Delay, Time times with the gateway gets the weather for your area. Then if it is raining,
it will not waste water by turning while it is raining.
e) Manual controls
On the timer, press one of the zone buttons (A or B) to turn on/off the water in that zone.
On the App, press the zone faucet icon to turn on/off the water.
f) Each gateway can be individually named.
g) Each Zone can be individual named.
3) You can enable/disable any set watering time by selecting the enable/ disable feature.
This way you do not need to delete scheduled watering time to disable it.
4) Each Gateway can control multiple timers.
5) Alexa Intergrations. (I only use the verbal commands to turn on/off the watering).
Yes, you can have Alexa turn on/off watering at times you select.
You can use verbal commands to turn on/off watering with Alexa.
Cons:
1) Using the recommended app, Smart Life, it is difficult to pair with the gateway.
It took four, manual attempts to get the Smart Life app to pair.
3 of the 4 times it returned: Failed to connect.
Yes, I had the pairing light on the gateway flashing, waiting to be paired.
2) The recommended Smart Life app has a major lag when attempting to turn on/off the water.
Smart Life App, Press the faucet Icon to turn on/off the water and wait, and wait, and wait.
It takes up to one (1) minute for the timer to respond to the command.
App show the status (on/off) but still takes times for the timer device respond.
3) If using Alexa routines to set when to water. Alexa does not have/utilize the Rain Delay feature.
This means, Alexa will still turn on the water in the middle of a rainstorm.
To get around the Cons:
1) Use the BlissHome App. Reduces response time from 60 seconds (Smart Life App) to 2 to 4 seconds.
2) Only use Alexa for verbal commands to turn on/off watering.
3) Use all the feature in the app to utilize multiple timers and the Rain Delay feature.
So anyone having issues with the Smart Life app, connecting to the gateway or major response lags, try changing/using a different app with this device.
Some people might consider needing the gateway withing 49 feet of the timer a con. Out of four of these timers, I am only using two of the gateways, one located on each end of my house. With their placement, I have not had any issues.
You might think that once the timer is setup that you will not be doing anything with the App. That is what I thought. I was so wrong. I am using the app to turn on/off the water all the time. It is so easy using a quick disconnect to change between a sprinkler and a hand watering end. Then without running back to the faucet, just press a button (icon in the App) and turn on/off the water. Love this feature.
It say that the timers have UV protection. Only time will tell about this one.

Nightmare to set up
This product had great reviews so I was hoping it would be a great addition to my garden. In fact, I bought two. I was wrong! For some inane reason you have to go through a plug-in router. I tried for an hour to add the device. It would say I attached the device and then say it wasn’t there (see above). I tried troubleshooting, including reinstalling the app. I tried manually adding it but the way it comes up on my iPhone compared to the instructions is totally different. This was a complete waste of time and I’m returning it. Hopefully they can come up with something less complicated. I’m giving 2 stars because, unlike this device, I am not a piece of crap.
