This is the fourth RainPoint product I’ve bought and I haven’t been dissatisfied yet. I own the manual timers (single and dual) and have been happy with the way they work - easy to set up, easy to program, works well - but wanted to try a WiFi enabled timer so I could adjust timing and turn on/off without having to go outside, especially to turn it off if rain is anticipated. The cost was decent too for the hub and timer pairing. Overall this is a great product. It was easy to set up the hub with the WiFi and the timer with hub. It took less than 5 minutes from box to set up. The hub is a little large which was disappointing but it does have a built in outlet so you don’t actually lose an outlet. Connection to the hose bib was easy, it makes a tight fit with no leaks. I applied a little plumbers tape out of habit. Brass fitting is a good feature too, making it a more solid product. The RainPoint app took a few minutes to get used to, it wasn’t as intuitive as I would have liked but perhaps will get easier over time. I like that it has three different schedules you can set and go back and forth between them as needed throughout the season. You don’t have to go out and set it manually and then remember your settings for the next time. The manual on/off (with time setting) was useful for setting up the sprinkler. You can turn it on and off from time phone without having to go back to the hose bib while you’re trying to position your sprinkler which is very convenient. The on/off button in the app had about a second delay though which was unexpected and a tad annoying but still better than going to the hose bib multiple times. I haven’t seen the intelligent weather response yet so I can’t speak to that feature. But I was able to turn it off manually with sprinkling rain from the phone. I also can’t speak to how well the hub works with multiple timers, and hub placement between multiple timers, but I plan to get one or more timers since this product has been so good thus far!

This is the second water timer I have purchased from rain point. I purchased one 2 years ago and was happy with the performance. The only issue I had with it ( it’s minor) was the connection as they were plastic. I had to move the timer from front to back so had to be careful when connecting. With this new model RainPoint upgraded the connection to metal fittings. So no worry of cross threading. This was easy to setup in a few minutes, this timer has a lot of features, you can set up schedules, rain delay, tracking the amount of water used, and more I told my son about the RainPoint water timer as they travel a lot, they love it as much as I do. Being able to program when they are out of town, their lawn is looking great and their gardens looked great also. They now have 2 of the timers. I did have a problem with my first water timer and contacted their customer service, they were able to help me diagnose the problem. The timer had failed, but they had a replacement to me within a week. The big plus is they offer an extended warranty for 5 years. RainPoint will be my first choice everytime and my recommendation for anyone wanting a great quality water product.

This is my second one and the old one is still working fine (3 years old). Got a second one for the other side of my house. I connected it to a drip irrigation system in the garden (with a pressure reducer). It is easy to use and the hook up to the house WIFI was very quick. The app took a few minutes to configure, but once it is setup it is just click and forget. The design is leak proof and I have had no issues so far. Worth every penny. To make it last I bring it indoors at the end of the season and then I remove the batteries. The WIFI module stays plugged permanently. I also cover it in the summer when it is in use (to protect from the sun and UV since it has a plastic casing). Highly recommend for the garden.

Good product, worked as expected, BUT if the WiFi fails, the valve unit will not reconnect when the WiFi resumes. You have to manually reconnect it to the WiFi at the valve. This makes it worthless if you're going to be away from home for an extended period.
