LinkTap G1S Wireless Water Timer & Gateway - Smart Sprinkler Timer with App, Remote Irrigation for Garden, Weather Aware, Greater Range Than WiFi, Anti-Freeze Protection, 2 Year Battery Life, IP66

The main issue with this product is that it is not Wi-Fi. It is wireless. It needs a wired connection to your Internet Router for the wireless bridge. Once you have the bridge connected with a LAN cable (short one supplied) and powered, you then have to make sure the bridge and the valve unit connect over the wireless connection. The downloaded app helps with this. Once connected, it's very easy to manage all watering plans daily, weekly, monthly and many times a day if required. Many valve units can connect to one bridge (I now have two). Also, from the app, it is possible to manage many locations. If you are a landscaper you could manage many customers watering from the app, no visit required. Going to be in trouble with my Wife for the cost of the units but it makes it so easy to manage and monitor the batteries of the units.

Using for a few months now, so far no issues.

This product is well designed & constructed. Linktap clearly has conducted VOC (Voice of Customer) during the development of this product as they seem to have thought of all common scenarios. It works very well, doesn't leak & it's so convenient to control & program directly from the phone app. I really like the rain delay feature that uses the weather forecast to determine whether to go ahead with a watering cycle after or before heavier rain fall. I thoroughly recommend the G1S. P.S. I bought the G1S as I didn't want the complication of the flow meter & a possible reduction in flow rate through it. I also didn't like the idea of the floppy cable plugging into the tap controller. Unnecessary week point for me, so went with the simple G1S.

Muy buen temporizador que puedes controlar en todo momento estés donde estés, te facilita alertas de riego, puedes modificar el tiempo, parar o poner en marcha, además el alcance de wifi es increíble.

Super produit ! de loin le meilleur sur Amazon, il est très simple à installer, très fiable, depuis que je l'ai je pars en vacances l'esprit tranquille sans avoir à m'inquieter de l'arrosage de mes plantes

Top Gerät! Schnelle und einfache Installation und es funktioniert seitdem reibungslos und absolut zuverlässig! Das wirklich schöne daran ist, dass man auch hier, wie bei anderen Smart Home Anwendungen von überall Zugriff hat und Bewässerungspläne verändern! ergänzen oder ändern kann! Wir bewässern mit diesem einen Gerät eine große Garten Terrasse mit mehreren großen Pflanzkästen, diversen Terracotta Töpfen und einen Ziergarten Bäumen, Rosen und viele anderen Pflanzen zuverlässig und gut! Die automatische rechtzeitige Bewässerungsab- und Einschaltung der Bewässerungspläne ist eine geniale Unterstützung und damit haben wir erstmalig endlich eine ausgereifte Technik im Einsatz mit der wir außerordentlich zufrieden sind!

The LinkTap products are very well made. I have owned smart tap controllers from other manufacturers before and none can compare to the quality, features, and ease of use. I bought a couple last minute before an extended overseas holiday and was surprised by how simple it was to install; not just the physical installation, but also the network and app setup. I was able to program different intervals remotely and use the app to check everything was working from the other side of the planet. The interval modes are well thought out giving the users the ability to select multiple modes such as every X day, specific days of the week, odd/even days, specific months, calendar mode, etc. There is documentation for adding it to Home Assistant but I found the app and interval modes were so well done that I was only using the LinkTap entities in Home Assistant to trigger other things in my home as I found the weather forecasting very reliable. Speaking of the forecasting element, the device can alter its run times depending on the temperature of the day. You are able to set high and low temperature limits and then a ratio of how much more or less the runtimes will be. There is even a setting for not watering at all under a set temperature. So much configurability. Have I been recommending this product to anyone who listens? Absolutely. I now have friends replacing the traditional timers on their irrigation systems based on how robust, configurable, and easy this is. Note: The pressure coming into the LinkTap in my garden was irrationally high, measured at over 120PSI (830kPa) where the average home in Australia would get about 43-72PSI (300-500kPa) and the LinkTap is rated for a maximum of 116PSI (800kPa). Considering the LinkTap has not exploded yet and still functions as expected speaks volumes to the quality of the product. I will be adding a pressure regulator upstream as soon as it gets delivered to protect the device and the sprinklers downstream. It is unlikely this would be a problem for others.
