Works with: hover or tap an icon for the system name. A system is shown when it supports the product directly or through the hub the listing requires. Smart Life / Tuya timers also have an official Home Assistant integration. Most timers here talk to a plug-in gateway over Bluetooth or their own radio; the gateway connects to Wi-Fi.

WiFi Sprinkler Timer 2 Zone, Smart Water Timer for Garden Hose Irrigation

WiFi Sprinkler Timer 2 Zone, Smart Water Timer for Garden Hose Irrigation

4.4 117 reviews · $49.99

The title says 2 zones, but the listing also calls it "this 3 zone sprinkler timer," so you can't be sure what arrives.

Why we'd skip it

  • Title: "WiFi Sprinkler Timer 2 Zone." Bullet: "this 3 zone sprinkler timer featuring independent zone control."
  • No bullet lists what's in the box to settle it.
  • The same seller sells a 3-zone model, so mix-ups are likely.
See the listing on Amazon (so you recognize it)

Buyer's guide

Hose timer or in-ground controller?

A hose timer screws onto an outdoor faucet to water gardens, drip lines, and hose sprinklers. An in-ground controller replaces the box that runs a buried sprinkler system.

Why do some need a gateway?

The timer at the faucet runs on batteries and uses Bluetooth or a low-power radio. A plug-in gateway inside connects it to Wi-Fi so you can control it away from home.

What about freezing weather?

Bring timers inside before the first hard freeze. Water left inside can crack the valve.
