desertcart.com : LinkTap G2S Smart Water Timer & Gateway, Greater Range Than WiFi Hose Timer, Real-Time Fault Detection & Alerts, Weather Awareness, Automatic Sprinkler Watering System for Lawns and Yard, Anti-Freeze : Patio, Lawn & Garden

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!
Review: Reliable and intuitive controller for your sprinkler system - I decided to buy the LinkTap controller to water 24 plant pots in my garden. As a traveler and an avid automation enthusiast, having a reliable and dependable watering system was of utmost importance to me. I connected this controller to a Mr. Landscaper system that I had assembled. I don't like having water sit inside my pipes especially when the sprinkler system is not being used. It's safer all around and less prone to accidents especially when I'm not home. This unit does exactly that. It cuts off the water to the main line and the sprinkler heads unless it's time to water. This way, if there's ever a hole or tear in the main line, I can easily shut it off remotely as the app reports back the pressure change. The unit comes with a backflow protection, and let me tell you, everything about this is what I would call high quality. The unit was designed in Australia and assembled in China. It also comes equipped with a flow meter which measures the amount of water that is being used on a daily basis including the water pressure, you know, in case there's a leak. There's also rain skip feature that prevents the unit from watering your plants in case rain is detected. The rain detection is based on weather prediction, which is not always accurate, so I have that setting turned off. All of this is reported back to the app that you can control from anywhere in the world. You don't have to be on your home network to control this system. It also has fault detection and line disconnect or water shut-off/non-shut-off alerts. Definitely useful if you are traveling and are in need of an automated solution. I bought the unit with the Gateway which I connected via ethernet cable to the back of my router (ethernet cable included in package). Once I scanned the barcode on the main unit and registered it with LinkTap, the Gateway synced up and I was ready to go. Note, the gateway is used to program the unit via mobile phone app and to schedule watering times. Afterwards, you can disconnect the gateway and the unit will continue to operate as long as it doesn't run out of battery. The main unit does take 4 AA batteries so use the best kind you can find. After I had everything hooked up and after a week, I noticed that the Flow Meter on the unit wasn't operating. I opened up a support case with LinkTap via the app and 6 hours later I got a message saying a new unit was on its way. How about that for customer service? This thing has been working for me consistently without any leaks or hiccups. It turns on and turns off when I need it to on an automated schedule. I highly recommend this.

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by S***D on May 26, 2023*

I've tried other water timers, got disappointed, wasted time, and returned those. I came across LinkTap and was both amazed and surprised with the amount and quality of its documentation, diagrams, and samples how the network, the app, and capabilities work. Some wireless and bluetooth products just don't work typically asking you to separate a 2.4GHz band on your wifi which is old nowadays. Then they use buggy 3rd party apps. These cheaper ones don't even have instructions you can understand. I had no luck with those what should have been an easy setup. With LinkTap, the setup was a breeze. I was concerned about wiring the hub indoors on my network and wirelessly connect to the outdoor timer using Zigbee. I know about the tech but hard to tell indoor-outdoor signal strength until you deploy it. However, its already good to have a sepate wireless for its own. Great that I have spare Ethernet in a room that's in the middle of my front and backyard. This is way more stable. The app is very easy and worked instantly on my Samsung Galaxy. It also skipped watering when we had rain in the forecast. Now that I know this thing really works, I am buying a second timer!
