RAINPOINT WiFi Water Timer, Smart Sprinkler System Valve With APP & Voice Control, Weather-Based Automatic Rain Delay, Brass Inlet & Outlet (No WiFi Hub)

Good product, but was hoping for better integration with google home.It works with google home, BUT I made the mistake of adding devices to the RainPoint TUYA app (as directed by the basic instructions). If you want to integrate to google home you need to download the smart life app, and pair the same way as you would with the RainPoint TUYA app.The good news is regardless of if you pair using the smart life app or the RainPoint TUYA app, the interface, scheduling, rain delay, etc is all identical.The only gripe I have is more related to how google home views the devices. It sees the timers as switches, so you can add schedules for switches that work just fine, but you have less easy “plug and play” control like you would through the smart life app. I know google home works with other smart watering timers so it could be something they could work on.The reason I’d rather use google home is because my spouse doesn’t have all of the 3rd party smart apps downloaded and signed into, so it’s easier for her to just use one app for everything (lighting, HVAC, misc monitoring, and now irrigation) instead of needing 6 apps with different credentials. That’s why we like google home.Once I have some schedules/rules made via google home, it should be easier. I’ve been pleasantly surprised when google home has improved existing integration like in this scenario, so fingers crossed.I hope this helps anyone who is hoping to integrate with google home! It works, could be more clear in instructions on how to do it, and has some room for better usability on googles side

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I ordered one about 6 months ago and was very happy with the quality brass fittings, ease of setup, connectivity and reliability. I have since ordered four more.I have read reviews saying the hub only supports three irrigation timers, but I have four connected to one hub and they work fine. I bought an additional timer, so I will need to buy an additional hub to support it.I love being able to modify settings remotely to adjust for weather and season. I also like being able to water based on time or quantity. Definitely a keeper.

These are a very good timer. If you purchase them buy the ones with brass fittings top and bottom. The plastic ones are easy to strip as you can imagine. I have had these for a few years now. There WiFi so you can activate them from anywhere you want. You can set up too three programs per timer. There’s one catch RAINPOINT has three different apps and companies. So not all Rainpoint products work with all of the Rainpoint products. Stay with the same line of products and you’ll be fine.

This company has to provide some of the best customer service on the internet. I ordered a system for 3 zones and a moisture meter but made a mistake on two of the products purchased. Customer service was extremely fast, and their response was an immediate resolution. The products I ordered correctly, were easy to install and operate. Highly recommend.

Sketchy at best. Ordered these three different times. One returned, and received a new one which worked fine until it got submerged during a significant rain event. I learned on the third one and managed to keep it out of any standing water. It’s fine to get wet, but just make sure it doesn’t end up submerged at all. It still has its moments during multiple hours of intense rain where it will disconnect and you have to completely reconnect it to the hub.
