LinkTap G1S Wireless Water Timer (Gateway Not Included), Smart Irrigation Controller for Lawns & Gardens, Easy Install, Weather Aware, Greater Range than WiFi, App & Smart Assistant, IP66 Waterproof

I needed something to set my water sprinklers off every so often to scare the herons from feeding on my Koi in my pond as they decimate my stock every year. I found the G2S would let me set 100 schedules a day which means I can have my sprinklers go off every 20 minutes (I only set it for 3s) and I have already seen the results scaring off the herons. I have purchased 2 now so I can set them 10 mins apart so they go off every 10 minutes now for 24 hours a day every day. (Tip: using the interval mode along with eco mode means you only have to set it once)

This is my 3rd unit. I think they are great. They allow timing schedules of all sorts. I love that they receive weather info and are able to be set automatically to change irrigation amounts according to temperature changes and even skip it if so set. I have 2 or 3 other types that can only be manually set once for 72 hours and have to be manually set again after that. The only thing I did not like was that you have to remove several minuscule screws to remove the battery compartment cover. A quick release water proof compartment would be much better like I have in my other controller types.

Great product. Works exactly as advertised. I'm very happy with this. Linktap is expensive. Previous linktap lasted 3 years before malfunction. Just outside warranty!

I bought 3 of these from Amazon for £59 each and it works fantastic. Wanted to buy another but Amazon now charges £69 while the LinkTap site charges £58. Amazon, why do you do this. Its the same with a doorbell bought previously. When you go to buy again, the price jumps. Very impressed with product but Amazon should be ashamed op this exploitations. Product - 5 stars Amazon - zero

Too early for a full on review, like battery life etc, as it has only been installed for a week, but very simple to install, and for the times I have used it so far, all good.

J'ai tenté le produit concurent l'annéee précédente. Moins chere. Mais des problemes avec l'installation, la configuration. Configuration compliquée mais avec des options sympas comme l'assistance pour programmer l'arrosage. Mais qui au final ne fonctionne pas bien. Une clé remplacée au bout de quelques mois et un module defectueux au bout d'un an... Bref, je me suis donc tourné vers ce produit. Et la 2 minutes pour l'installer et aucun bug, tu sens qu'il robuste et fiable. Plus chere que la concurence, mais je recommande à 100% J'ai commencé par celui qui mesure le debit qui est en tete de circuit et me sert de fusible (en cas de fuite) et d'autres pour programmer les arrosages. C'est parfait.

I currently own around 6 of these devices and they're really solid compared to the horrible Orbit bhyve products that I've had to throw in the trash due to them being bricked randomly after software updates. Also unlike orbit's bhyve, these have better mechanical valves that open and close so you don't hear a loud bang with your home's pipes. The software is a bit messy and could use a bit cleaner layout but you get way more details and options than what orbit offers. Hopefully these last for years, I'll be updating my post if they don't. For now I highly recommend people skip anything orbit/bhyve and trying these instead.

L'ho acquistato per integrare il sistema di irrigazione della mia abitazione, già dotato di altre valvole LinkTap G1 acquistate diversi anni fa, che continuano a funzionare benissimo. Il nuovo G1S si è subito integrato col Gateway preesistente, eseguendo la normale procedura guidata di registrazione di una nuova unità. Si tratta di un prodotto utile ed affidabile.

I wanted the ability to turn on a sprinkle remotely for a short time when my dogs start barking incessantly at our horse when he goes to water trough. Found the unit works great, bought another separate tap and plan to get another to fill a water trough further from the house. I always leave water on too long when filling troughs and this allows me to set how long water runs and cuts off. Plan to use with a garden which will definitely help during hot dry parts of summer. It will be nice to set a watering schedule and be done with it. Lastly, I did have a 4 way brass valve connected to the unit and found that the unit broke off at the top where it connects to faucet. Connected customer support via app email so it had my account info included in email and I had a response back same day. They did request pictures and sought details about angle/how it was mounted to better design product but most importantly replaced the unit. Customer service rep notified me that they were out of the basis version that I purchased but planned to send me the upgraded version that was in stock to prevent waiting. For this reason I 100% recommend this product and company. They could have blamed me for hanging too much weight on it or delayed me getting the same model until back in stock but in both cases they choose to put customer first! Good to see a company appreciate their customer who took a chance and spent their hard earned money on their product!

Hace prácticamente un año compré un puerto base (LinkTap Gateway) y cuatro temporizadores (LinkTap GS1). Durante todo el verano pasado estuve usándolos todos con resultados inmejorables. Y aunque al inicio de esta temporada uno de los temporizadores me dio un problema (sólo uno, los otros tres no), contacté con el vendedor-fabricante, a través del enlace de amazon, y me resolvió el problema prácticamente en un día. La instalación es muy sencilla. Primero conectas el puerto base a la electricidad y a internet, con cables. Y a los temporizadores les pones las pilas (no sé cuanto duran, porque las mías tras un año siguen como nuevas) y los conectas a la llave del agua, con una conexión de riego estándar. Descargas al móvil la aplicación de LinkTap (gratuita). Y desde la aplicación conectas primero el Gateway y después los temporizadores a aquel, todo con mucha facilidad porque la aplicación simplemente te pide que escanees con la cámara del móvil un código que tiene cada uno de los elementos. Puedes poner un nombre a cada temporizador (y también a cada puerto, si tienes varios), para identificarlos sin problema a la hora de configurar los riegos. Una vez que está todo instalado la programación se hace también a través de la aplicación del móvil (pueden ser varios móviles, si quieres) y es también muy simple y funciona genial. Por supuesto, cada temporizador tiene su propia programación, y tiene montones de opciones para escoger lo que prefieras, dejándola fijada por días, por semanas, por meses... a una o a varias horas distintas y durante el tiempo que decidas para cada riego. También es sencillo ir cambiándolo cada vez que quieras, o activar y desactivar el riego de forma instantánea (creo que esto también se puede hacer sin móvil, aunque no estoy segura porque eso nunca me ha interesado). En definitiva, además de ser un gran producto tiene detrás a un vendedor-fabricante que responde con total garantía y celeridad, por lo que sin ninguna duda recomiendo su compra.
