WiFi or Radio?
One of the main differences between faucet timers is how they connect. Yes, all of them will eventually need to connect to the internet via WiFi or Ethernet. But most smart timers don’t function as standalone units. Normally, you’ll have a base station that connects to the internet. This base station will then act as a point of contact for one or more timers. Some base stations will use WiFi, while others will use a radio connection. WiFi has a shorter range. However, it’s also more familiar to more homeowners. On the other hand, a radio connection can work over a longer range. Radio connections also consume less power than WiFi, which extends your battery life.
App Controls
The “smart” part of your smart timer will either be a smartphone app or a web interface. In fact, you’ll probably spend more time in the app than you will fiddling with the physical timer. Look for features you’re actually going to use! For instance, many smart timers support Alexa voice commands, but this doesn’t help you if you don’t use Alexa. Look primarily for features like fully customizable scheduling. We’re well past the days of mechanical, pin-operated timers. If you want to run your hose for five minutes twenty times a day, you should be able to.
Reliable Power
Finally, it’s important to think about how your faucet timer is powered. Replaceable batteries are the most common choice, simply because they’re usually most convenient. However, some timers use a solar power system instead. This has the benefit of supplying effectively limitless power, and it’s far more environmentally friendly. That said, solar-powered systems take time to recharge. If your timer is triggering multiple times per day, the battery may still run out. On a similar note, take any manufacturer battery life estimates with a grain of salt. More than anything else, your performance will depend on how much you’re using your timer.
