The model I tested features one timer valve and is priced at $99.99, inclusive of a required Wi-Fi hub. Importantly, you can also control the valve manually using a large button on the face of the device in the event of a Wi-Fi outage (or, you know, close proximity to the faucet). Using the Rachio app, you can create and manage schedules to replace hand-watering, enable weather-based automation and manage multiple outdoor faucets at once. The timer connects to your internet-2.4 GHz only, please-via the included Wi-Fi Hub, which plugs into a standard two-prong outlet.
The Rachio Smart Hose Timer is a battery-powered smart valve that allows you to control a standard garden hose using the Rachio smartphone app (available for iOS and Android). Intelligent weather monitoring and custom schedules mean that your plants will receive the right amount of water for their needs, and will skip watering if rain is in the forecast.The Rachio Smart Hose Timer can be connected to a garden hose and turned on/off remotely via the Rachio app. This allows the controller to work with hoses, sprinklers, drip irrigation systems, and more with a package that is compact and easy to install. The Orbit B-Hyve Smart Hose Faucet Timer is the best smart sprinkler controller for most due to its low cost and ability to connect directly to a hose spigot. Schedules can be made to run in the background, letting mother nature and artificial intelligence work together to determine when to water. Being able to water your garden with a simple tap or via voice control with Siri, Alexa, or the Google Assistant, makes the noble, but often forgotten, task of watering so much easier. Installing one of the best smart sprinkler controllers is a great way to ensure that your flowers or lawn are getting the attention that they deserve. A built-in LCD screen allows programming entirely on the device. The Rainbird Smart Controller is built for just about anywhere. Orbit's extensive history with irrigation also enables completely customizable schedules that take into account your type of soil, the slope of your yard, and sun exposure. This controller can also integrate with Amazon Alexa to enable voice control for watering your landscape with just a shout.Īdditional features include the ability to monitor water consumption, and it can even be set to run by volume, and not just via a timer. Orbit's hardware also includes mesh networking technology, which can expand your coverage if multiple controllers are set up around your home.
