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. These timers need a Zigbee hub: SONOFF's own gateways for the eWeLink app, a Tuya Zigbee gateway for Smart Life, or Home Assistant (ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT).

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.
