Proper use and installation of a wifi smart water timer can lead to saving yourself time, and ultimately money. You will become more efficient with your water use, which is great for your wallet, for your garden, and for the environment.
Some of these products work significantly better than others, and the whole product category is pretty new. Whether its a smoother interface on the app, having more options to control it, or generally being easier to use, there are significant differences between products.
We should note that the products we’re looking at here are smart hose faucet timer systems. They attach to a standard garden hose spigot, and are not the same as those that are used in conjunction with a lawn sprinkler system (such as the Rachio 3 Sprinkler Timer).
Generally, the systems that tie into professionally-installed lawn sprinkler systems are a bit more advanced, and in this article, we’re focusing more on the home DIY user who intends to hook up to a spigot.
