Recommendations: Smart Water Timer for Sprinkler

Hi All,

Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations for an outdoor relatively inexpensive Smart Sprinter that I can attach to an outdoor tap and control via home assistant.

Ideally I would like one that is Zigbee, but failing that Wi-Fi.

Just to be clear, I am looking for something similar to this, but Zigbee:

Thanks!

Mike

Hi Mike, I was browsing the forums and saw that there was a similar thread about a year ago:

But I feel your pain, It would be really useful if there was a spreadsheet where we could look simply look up recommended products with HA compatibility. The integrations pages help, but don’t give the details we need when searching for something new - especially when you’re new to the topic.

Yes! this would be so helpful.

I have opted to buy the Johgee Smart Water Timer (SOP18W), for now I will use the Smart Life app until I find an integration.

Thanks!

Well if you are looking for an integration then perhaps…

I use a ZigBee DIY setup.

I had 3 of the Orbit 21004 B-hyve Smart Hose Watering Timer with Wi-Fi Hub. All three died this year. Just got 2 SONOFF SWV-NH, took a while to be delivered. They paired up with out a problem and started using them.

The good thing is you are not relying on the cloud to set up and use.

Bad thing is you will have to set up an automation to turn on and turn off. Which should not be a big deal.
