## Description

desertcart.com : LinkTap G2S Smart Garden Hose Timer & Gateway, 2-Year Battery Life | Irrigation by Weather/Volume/Duration, Wider Range Than WiFi, Real-Time Fault Detection & Alert, Anti-Freeze Protection, IP66 : Patio, Lawn & Garden

Review: Good Product - Great Product! No BS, no nonsense, it just works. Despite the all-plastic construction, it has yet to leak. The valve operates relatively slowly, preventing water hammer to an extent. That being said, I have highly filtered well water, which operates at a lower pressure than city water; your mileage may vary. The recent UI update to the app has greatly improved the experience. Battery life is good, and I have had no issues with the wireless connection from the valves to the gateway. The system uses a proprietary adaptation of the ZigBee protocall which uses the 2.4Ghz band. If you live in a crowded RF environment, you may have to experiment with different ZigBee channels to find one that's ideal. It was easy to install and configure with the gateway requiring a wired 10/100 Ethernet connection and 5V power over micro USB. One way the gateway could be improved is by supporting PoE; a lot of people, myself included, use it with various 3rd-party automation systems like Home Assistant and have PoE switches. I think support for PoE alongside a 5V input would be appreciated. On the topic of Home Assistant, the integration via HACS works great, allowing for local HTTP control over the valves and live stats reporting. Their app UI previously was atrocious, which is what prompted me to use Home Assistant for control, but since the update, I would be comfortable using the LinkTap app and their web services for control. Furthermore, they designed the valve firmware in such a way that the valves will continue to execute their watering schedule if something were to go wrong with the gateway or your internet connection. This also means that you could program the valve in proximity to the gateway, then move it to a remote location out of reach of the gateway, and it will continue to function. Overall, good product.
Review: Fantastic product! - I needed something for my SO's garden since we were going on vacation and she wanted something left alive when we got back :) :) I spent two weeks surfing reviews and basically came to the conclusion that the overwhelming majority of timers out there are absolute overpriced garbage. Just cheap, barely up to the level of throwaway, crap from China. Then I stumbled across the LinkTap stuff. Yes its more expensive - up front. $140 for one faucet. But its very obvious that this product is actually built to last more then one season. You WILL NOT find anything else with even close to equivalent functionality and quality for this price. Anything else will start at $50-60 and MAYBE last one season. We're in a high desert (6K ft) so while the heat isn't overwhelming (high 90's at most), the sun (UV) is brutal! Cheap plastic crap from China has a amazingly short lifespan! The app is clunky but functional. Which is fine. I want a functional product! I don't care if the app isn't a work of art. Read their directions because some things are not obvious. Also, this product will do A LOT. Also, not all of which is obvious. The web site is less clunky and still perfectly functional. The web site is NOT housed on the hub so you can control your watering remotely anywhere you have internet access. NOTE: remote access ONLY works if your hub has internet access! If the hubs internet connection goes belly up, you are SOL. This only affects YOU ACCESSING the hub and doing stuff. Whatever preexisting settings continue on as they are irrespective of whether the hub has internet access or not. The hub uses Zigbee - yea, stop jumping up and down. It is ONLY used to interface with their devices. NO. It will not integrate with a Zigbee hub! Control is only through their app or their web site. There are a bunch of things I REALLY like about this setup, but I'm not going to go through all of them. #1 on my list is being able to see water flow: whether there is any and how much. We use dripper hoses which only flow about 2gph. Not nearly what an open faucet would flow so its easy to see if someone disconnected a hose. It also reassures my paranoid SO that water ACTUALLY IS flowing. :) #2 email alerts for several things like too much flow, no flow. Not much interest if you're at home, maybe, but I'm not down with blowing through 5000 gallons of water because we were gone for a week and the lawn guys ran over a hose with the mower. #3 hub based with remote devices. The app/web site doesn't talk directly to the devices. Which is very good for us since we have a weird shaped house. Wireless connectivity at the faucet is shaky at best. Bluetooth connectivity would be non existent. I located the hub in my office about in the middle of the house where I can supply it with uninterruptible power and internet and it gets 80% connectivity to the faucet which means it work perfectly 100% of the time. #4 it is SUPER EASY to hook this to a POE (power over Ethernet) adapter and only have one wire running to my POE Ethernet switch supplying both internet and power (off my UPS). No wall wart! Another plus to this is it makes things considerably easier if you don't have a power outlet where you want to put the hub. :) #5 this setup is crazy expandable! Unfortunately, I already have a perfectly functional sprinkler system so a hub and one faucet is all I'll probably ever need. But if I were putting in a new sprinkler system, I'd seriously consider this on a larger scale. I strongly suggest looking at their web site and going though their docs. I couldn't begin to give an adequate review of everything. I strongly recommend this over EVERYTHING else on desertcart!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long is this product on the market?**
A: LinkTap's first generation wireless water timer (G1) was released on 07/2017. The current G2S is LinkTap's third generation water timer, which is the enhanced version of previous G2 model. The G2S was released on 02/2021.

**Q: Does linktap have a manual (non-wireless) version of this timer?  the usa seams to be lacking in a high quality manual timer.**
A: No.

**Q: Is the timer water tight so you don't have to cover it when it rains**
A: Yes. The water timer is IP66 rated. There is no need to cover it when it rains.

**Q: How is it with high temperatures like in Arizona?**
A: I don’t think I have had mine long enough to know for sure. I just bought mine a few months ago.  It has held up to several weeks in the high 80’s and low 90s with high humidity. We are in the coastal part of Virginia but the temps haven’t gotten into the high 90s and 100s yet.  I don’t think we ever get quite as high as Arizona. My device is in partial shade.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ saves money
*by A***R on August 1, 2026*

We've been extremely happy with our LinkTap controller. It has been reliable, easy to set up, and has worked exactly as expected. One of our favorite features is the automatic rain delay. It pauses watering when it's raining and resumes when conditions improve, which has saved us water and lowered our water bill. We no longer have to remember to manually pause the system every time it rains. Overall, it's been a great investment. If you're looking for a smart irrigation controller that's dependable and helps conserve water, I highly recommend LinkTap.
