Nice product and great presentation! I was expecting a wallet-pounding price, but was delightfully surprised at the low cost of the system you have. I'm surprised RainPoint did not include small solar panels on the exterior sensors to charge the batteries during the day. Maybe Version 2.0 will have them. If you add some Hunter or Rainbird pop-up sprinkler heads, you will have a very nice lawn irrigation system. I have used both Hunter and Rainbird systems, but prefer the Hunter for its durability and ease of programming. In the past 11 years, I have not needed to replace any of the Hunter components, but was replacing a few Rainbird valves or spray bodies every season. Fortunately, you don't have to dig up the spray bodies to replace the failed components. I recommend the Hunter PRS40 (40PSI) or PRS30 (30PSI) pressure regulated spray bodies and MP rotator heads. These will work perfectly with your RainPoint controller since they operate by water pressure. I have 16 of the PRS40 spray bodies in two zones for the 200m2 lawn, and each zone works perfectly on the high pressure well pump or the domestic water pressure. Depending on your domestic water pressure, you might want to limit each zone to eight spray bodies. However, you should be able to easily cover your lawn with eight spray bodies along the perimeter with the appropriate MP rotator heads.
Hi, is there a way to control watering depending on the sensors? I cant find a way to stop the plan when humidity is sufcient or it is raining. So in the homgar app these features are missing?

Thanks Mike.. something I need to look more into.. (for sure!)
The stripes on the grass look amazing in the background......
Thanks
Rain bird R-Van sprinklers are good I've had them for a while now and very happy with them get the pressure regulated bodies to get consistency
Does it automatically suspend watering when its rainy or do you have to skip it manually?
I think it suspend it.. Haven't used it for a year sorry so my minds a bit rusty 😩

Hi I'm really sorry I'm no longer using the product. I haven't used it this year either so I'm out of touch
That looks like a great job Shaun
Thanks man..
Impressively detailed review, cheers!
I'll see if it's a good price with your 15% code, this product is good for summer watering
Blimey, that's some bit of watering kit. What is the price, I followed your link but price is in USD. They are usually cheaper than the UK. 👍☔
Yeah its shipped from overseas. Mine took a few days to arrive. Think it's around $200 so I'd say around £170 ish
That's nice I like that 😀 bit of kit
