One of the valves in the set was defective and needs to be returned

Bought two sets of these as a quick solution in lieu of an irrigation system at a rental property. Pros: 1. Does what it is supposed to, which is turn water on and off at preset times. 2. Multiple hoses can come off one timer, so no worries about clocks on multiple timers getting out of sync and causing multiple hoses to go on at the same time. 3. Wire from valve to controller allows controller to be installed against the house where it is more protected. 4. Allows for multiple watering incidents in one 24 hour period. Cons: 1. Not very intuitive to program. A bit awkward - is confusing for some, so I cannot just ask anyone to change the programming. 2. No option to add a moisture sensor or rain gauge that could prevent watering when it rains. I would not mind using one of the four inputs for this. The lack of this option is the major weakness of this system. Ideally, you would stick a wireless moisture sensor in the ground that transmits to a receiver that plugs into one of the four inputs. If the ground moisture threshold is met (due to rain), the controller would override the timer and not allow watering. Without this I am wasting money watering when it rains, and the n'hood thinks the Landlord is nuts. 3. Would love an option to get this thing hooked up to the web via wi-fi so I could change the programming via a web interface, but that may be a bit far fetched for what this device is supposed to do. Still... 4. One of the valves did not work out of the box. Smarthome sent me a replacement valve, but there was a bit of confusion getting a proper RMA. Both issues were sort of an aggravation, but both are now resolved.

Works great. Just wish the LED readout was larger and the main line at top was bigger.

Directions are a little confusing but for the price you can't beat it.

Great system, and flexible configuration. I really liked that the manifold came with an optional support mount for stability. Would be nice if it could use an AC power option, or accepted rechargeable batteries (rechargeables operate at a lower voltage and always show up with a low battery warning).

easy to hook-up. well worth the $. Thanks

This extremely small system is really easy to program. I like the 3 times maxium daily on/off feature. It works every day, every time. Thanks For Having such fine products.

My gardner does not like it but it took the burden of me when he is not around great product

It works as advertised, great!

it works awesome
