I bought one. I absolutely love it. I'm using it to water my vegetable garden and fruit trees with DRIP irrigation (1 outlet to garden, 1 outlet to trees). So far no leaks, no connection drops, good pressure, etc... This is exactly what I wanted. My wife would like her own so she can water her flowers.
Hi, great review! I have a doubt. I have a wifi mesh in my house, with good wifi coverage inside and outside the house. Do you know if I can connect the water timers without using the hubs provided by Insomna?
I just have one spout, not two…My unit came with a removable filter. Is this necessary for operation? There’s a lot of leaking at the faucet. Thank you! Awesome video!
Hello. Is it possible to set up scenes with other devices? Lets say i want the valve to open when i close a door, or to start when i turn off the light along with other smart devices?
Good question. Usually, it is possible to set up scenes using Google Home or Alexa that involve devices from different apps, as long as those devices are compatible with the smart home platform you are using (Google Home or Alexa), but I haven't tried in this case.
Is it possible to connect this device with sensors such as rainguage for auto rain delay function, moisture sensor for automatically watering plants as per the soil moisture need? Otherwise, this devise is simple programmable timer. Please suggest to add this functionality if you have connection with the manufacturer. It may help them to boost their market and will help nature through more effective water utilisation.
As far as I know Tuya and Smart Life are pretty much the same, never found any difference, my devices always have worked with both, hence yes, it should work.

Nope - you need to use the hub. Sorry

Thanks ❤️
Filter is always recommended, but not needed of course. Please check if gasket is still in place when having leaking.

Any loss in pressure? I’ve read on many reviews there is a significant loss in pressure. Thanks!
