LinkTap G2S Smart Water Timer & Gateway, Greater Range Than WiFi Hose Timer, Real-Time Fault Detection & Alerts, Weather Awareness, Automatic Sprinkler Watering System for Lawns and Yard, Anti-Freeze

I needed something for my SO's garden since we were going on vacation and she wanted something left alive when we got back :) :) I spent two weeks surfing reviews and basically came to the conclusion that the overwhelming majority of timers out there are absolute overpriced garbage. Just cheap, barely up to the level of throwaway, crap from China. Then I stumbled across the LinkTap stuff. Yes its more expensive - up front. $140 for one faucet. But its very obvious that this product is actually built to last more then one season. You WILL NOT find anything else with even close to equivalent functionality and quality for this price. Anything else will start at $50-60 and MAYBE last one season. We're in a high desert (6K ft) so while the heat isn't overwhelming (high 90's at most), the sun (UV) is brutal! Cheap plastic crap from China has a amazingly short lifespan! The app is clunky but functional. Which is fine. I want a functional product! I don't care if the app isn't a work of art. Read their directions because some things are not obvious. Also, this product will do A LOT. Also, not all of which is obvious. The web site is less clunky and still perfectly functional. The web site is NOT housed on the hub so you can control your watering remotely anywhere you have internet access. NOTE: remote access ONLY works if your hub has internet access! If the hubs internet connection goes belly up, you are SOL. This only affects YOU ACCESSING the hub and doing stuff. Whatever preexisting settings continue on as they are irrespective of whether the hub has internet access or not. The hub uses Zigbee - yea, stop jumping up and down. It is ONLY used to interface with their devices. NO. It will not integrate with a Zigbee hub! Control is only through their app or their web site. There are a bunch of things I REALLY like about this setup, but I'm not going to go through all of them. #1 on my list is being able to see water flow: whether there is any and how much. We use dripper hoses which only flow about 2gph. Not nearly what an open faucet would flow so its easy to see if someone disconnected a hose. It also reassures my paranoid SO that water ACTUALLY IS flowing. :) #2 email alerts for several things like too much flow, no flow. Not much interest if you're at home, maybe, but I'm not down with blowing through 5000 gallons of water because we were gone for a week and the lawn guys ran over a hose with the mower. #3 hub based with remote devices. The app/web site doesn't talk directly to the devices. Which is very good for us since we have a weird shaped house. Wireless connectivity at the faucet is shaky at best. Bluetooth connectivity would be non existent. I located the hub in my office about in the middle of the house where I can supply it with uninterruptible power and internet and it gets 80% connectivity to the faucet which means it work perfectly 100% of the time. #4 it is SUPER EASY to hook this to a POE (power over Ethernet) adapter and only have one wire running to my POE Ethernet switch supplying both internet and power (off my UPS). No wall wart! Another plus to this is it makes things considerably easier if you don't have a power outlet where you want to put the hub. :) #5 this setup is crazy expandable! Unfortunately, I already have a perfectly functional sprinkler system so a hub and one faucet is all I'll probably ever need. But if I were putting in a new sprinkler system, I'd seriously consider this on a larger scale. I strongly suggest looking at their web site and going though their docs. I couldn't begin to give an adequate review of everything. I strongly recommend this over EVERYTHING else on amazon!

Yes, this timer is more expensive than a lot of other timers, but you get what you pay for. First off, I wanted a timer that would be totally reliable if I am away and that I could easily monitor through my phone. This timer has a number of great features such as alerts if there is an unusual amount of water being used, gallons per minute being used, cost of water, monitoring the weather so it doesn’t water if rain is forecast, and so much more. You can change settings, shut it down remotely if needed. Secondly, I am not the most tech savvy person and when reading reviews of cheaper timers, one glaring thing was that they were not easy to program. With the LinkTap I was able to get it hooked up and programmed with no problem. I did have to hunt and peck around on the app to find certain features, but with the download of the complete instructions, I was able to find everything needed. There is also email customer support if needed. The product looks well built and durable and has a long battery life. So all to say, if you want a top quality product, spend the extra money and buy this one.

I've used this device to consistently water my tiny, mostly concrete "yard" while I was away on vacation. This product saved my plants from certain doom. I fell for the allure of an alternative product with a WiFi hub (which I couldn't even set up due to massive bugs in the app). One might consider this device requiring an ethernet connection a weakness, prima facie. After actually owning it I don't feel this way at all. It's designed to work well under a variety of conditions with minimal intervention, and the design has a small price to pay there with wired connectivity. The app might seem dated but it contains a ton of functionality that also, simply works. The most important point that I'd want to convey here is that this Linktap device is a serious and reliable product. This is much unlike the competition (I had a very bad experience trying to set up a Rachio device while communicating with their obviously AI-driven support team, and the rest of their competition looks like knock-offs and copy cats). The product has an array of features such as drop detection and irregular flow detection that unequivocally demonstrate seriousness and maturity. The timer just WORKS and reliably notifies me, and while the app records a ~50% signal strength it's enough to trigger within a minute most of the time. Oh and a two year warranty which screams confidence. And, at least as of this writing in August 2025, no subscription fee. Overall, I'm impressed and my garden lives on while I'm away. 5/5.

I initially experienced an issue with unusually fast battery drain. I contacted LinkTap support, and to my surprise, their response was almost instant. The support team remotely diagnosed the device, quickly identified the source of the problem, and immediately shipped me a replacement unit. What truly impressed me is that I was not required to return the faulty device or pay any shipping costs. No back-and-forth, no hassle — just a fast, professional solution. This is a diamond-level customer support experience. I honestly have never encountered service like this before. As for the device itself — it has completely transformed how I water my lawn. The app is packed with features, yet everything is intuitive and easy to set up. Scheduling, automation, fine-tuning watering cycles — it all just works. Compared to other smart watering controllers I’ve tried, there is simply no competition when it comes to usability and convenience. Nothing else even comes close. Highly recommended — both the product and the company behind it are top-notch.

The LinkTap G2S was incredibly easy to set up with clear, straightforward instructions — truly plug and play. I can now control my irrigation system directly from my phone anytime, anywhere, which makes watering so convenient. The smart rain delay feature works great and automatically skips watering on rainy days. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable smart watering solution.

Worked very easily and so easy to set schedules on the app. I had a manual timer previously and would highly recommend to change to this smart system

The LinkTap G2S Wireless Irrigation Computer is one of the most reliable and well-designed watering systems I’ve used. The wireless range is excellent — far better than standard WiFi timers — which makes it perfect for larger gardens or areas where WiFi can’t reach. Setup is straightforward, and the app is very easy to use. Scheduling watering cycles, checking status, and making adjustments all work smoothly. The real-time error detection and notifications are a huge advantage: it immediately alerts you to leaks, valve issues, or unusual water usage, giving you peace of mind even when you're away from home. The built-in water flow meter is accurate and helps track water usage precisely. The device feels sturdy, weatherproof (IP66), and reliable in all conditions. If you want a smart irrigation system that combines long-range connectivity, great functionality, and dependable performance, this is an excellent choice. Highly recommended!

Producto de muy buena calidad. App muy bien con muchas opciones. Me gusta mucho el control del consumo de agua.
