Over the past two years, I have purchased 3 LinkTap G2S Wireless Water Timers and Two, separate, gateways, one each for primary and vacation home. They have been flawless, and the hardware build quality is readily evident. What really sets these apart, and makes the higher price well worth it, is the quality of the software and setup. No additional internet fees are required and you have access to both configuration and operational details from anywhere your phone connects to the internet. Additionally, the configuration parameters are very detailed, yet intuitive, so you can set up a variety of water discharge schemes with automatic delays of watering for rainy days based on your location. I have done considerable software development and was very impressed with the LinkTap application. One last comment is the battery life seems exceptional. I installed my first gateway and timer in my vacation home > 18 months ago, and I just checked the battery level via the app and it's at 69%.

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 amazon!

I previously had been using manual timers but none allowed me to water on "Even Days" only and used the Melnor RainCloud, however, after a couple of seasons the units stopped working. I did some research and found LinkTap...while a little pricy it not only works better than expected it also provides more information. I am currently using on two areas of my home which operate on separate spigots. I only need one main unit and then a couple of the G2S Wireless Water Timers. The main unit quickly connected to my internet and the Water Times quickly connected to the Gateway. The initial setup was simple.I moved the units outside to the spigots and was pleased to see that the Wireless Water Timers were able to connect even though the Gateway was inside and a decent distance from the units. I then scheduled the timers through the Web App instead of the Phone App as it was easier to view. In the several weeks I have been using the LinkTap it has twice skipped the watering because of expected weather...sadly neither time did the rain hit my area and I ended up manually watering. I like that the App tells me the gallons / minute not only in real time but also shows how much water has been used.So far, this is a great system for anyone that does not have inground sprinklers. Highly recommend.UPDATE June 2024:I have the LinkTap G2S wireless timer for approximately two years and they have worked flawlessly. At the end of the season I've been removing the devices and storing indoors to prevent freezing. This year, one of the G2S devices refused to shutoff...I disassemble according to the online instructions and it worked twice before again remaining on. I did get the online notification and manually turned the device off.I contacted customer service and within two days a new G2S was at my due and now it's working perfectly. I couldn't be more pleased with the response and their standing by their product.I tell everyone I know that is interested that this is a great product and fully recommend.

El Link-tap funciona perfectamente. La verdad es que al recibirlo ya observé que la calidad de fabricación del producto no es la habitual entre otros dispositivos que uno puede adquirir por internet. Se ve sólido, bien construido, con instrucciones precisas y un soporte técnico detrás.Efectivamente, después de la instalación, el funcionamiento es el prometido. La programación es absolutamente flexible. Probablemente adquiriré otro para cubrir zonas que requieran unos periodos de riego diferentes.

Worked very easily and so easy to set schedules on the app. I had a manual timer previously and would highly recommend to change to this smart system

J'ai acheté ce produit pour pouvoir gérer l'arrosage de ma serre. On met des piles, on branche et hop ça fonctionne !Avantages :- La mise en oeuvre est très simple et intuitive avec l'application linkTap.- Beaucoup de réglages, sécurités, avertissements etc... Via l'application.- Intégration prévue avec HomeAssistant...mais voir dans les inconvénients.- Ne fuit pas- Un filtre est présent en entrée du système.- Beaucoup de façons de planifier les arrosagesInconvénients :- ... configuration avec HomeAssistant peut être un peu laborieuse (même si le souci majeur venait de moi). La documentation est cependant très très complète.- portée du sans fil un peu limitée (20/25 mètres)En bref je suis très satisfait de ce produit qui semble robuste, bien conçu et fonctionne avec des protocoles ouverts pour la maison connectée (MQTT).

Het werk prima. Ik kan de LinTap absoluut aanraden.
