I’ve been using the Gardena range for irrigation in the garden for years, and when i looked at upgrading the timer computers, was really horrified at the cost of either the blue tooth or the WIfi version.
I started looking on Amazon for an alternative and i am so pleased with this control. In fact i’ve now bought 3 as they were on offer in February ready for the warm weather to come.
The app is Called HomGar, and it’s easy to set up. All three controls I bought have connected to one wifi access point, all three connected when in the garden too. - we have a pretty large garden so I bought the version with the greatest range as our wifi doesn’t reach the bottom of the garden but the Bluetooth just the trick. Lots of possibilities for timings which helps me control when the weather comes on and off far greater than the Gardena computers, which do seem to be more tricky to set up to come on at a specific time and this is really important when you are trying to water your garden when someone needs a shower in the house and you have low water pressure - or a pump.
I can turn on the hose from the greenhouse without having to walk up the garden. Lazy, perhaps but it makes me happy!
I have three controls for 6 areas of the garden, and 2 out door taps, 2 are connected with a Gardena splitter and this works fine.
The feed to the drip system is fine - it’s not really any different from the battery operated controls, these controls just let the flow of water go through.
I have saved so much money using these this product over the Gardena which would have set me back about £600/800 which is ridiculous considering the price of these. Awesome
