Recommendations: Smart Water Timer for Sprinkler

[Mike_M (Mike Mannox)]

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:

Recommendations for a water timer?

I’ve been using a Tuya Wifi valve switch to control a drip irrigation line in my garden: It’s terrible. Eats batteries like crazy and frequently needs to be reset, defeating the purpose. It also doesn’t work with HA. Before I pick up a simple mechanical timer, I thought I’d see if there are any recommendations for a comparable product here. I was contemplating finding a model that works on Zigbee, but I’m open to all suggestions.

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…
