Really like the system and support has been great. I would like to see a couple of things to get this to five stars in my opinion. They need to make the app universal (work on iPad), and I would love the ability to set all of my zones to run and be able to just turn off individual sprinklers within a zone.

The concept and idea is definitely great for the industry. I can actually water my lawn and not everything else that doesn’t need to be watered. The biggest advantage is being able to adapt watering to yard changes without having to dig another trench, lay more pipe, and move sprinkler heads. The app leaves much to be desired from a user control standpoint. Worst part is historical information from watering. All you get currently is number of gallons total used and how long the system ran. There’s no breakdown per zone. Auto water uses internet provided data but you don’t know what data is being used to adjust watering time and schedule. When watering a lawn properly, several factors come into play. I shouldn’t have to pick days I want to water for an auto schedule, the controller should just do it. Should be able to set a weekly goal for precipitation amount and the system figures it out between rain and watering and adapt per season. App also doesn’t allow you to accomplish simple tasks like changing order of zones. Stupid user error by accidentally assigning the heads in the wrong order but not having the ability to fix it is lame. For the advanced system capabilities, the app should provide the same level of control and functionality.

I haven’t had a fully operational system since January, 2023. Within weeks of installation, I had errors on 8 of 11 heads which prevented my ability to run any of those heads in a schedule. Ray and the service team were responsive and attentive in that timeframe, but my own schedule prevented my jumping in to work-through their troubleshooting steps (some of which included testing with new cables, heads and controller, all of which which they were kind enough to send.) The prospect of having to dig-up everything (as well as having great natural precipitation in this timeframe) made procrastinating on this an easy decision. I had been able to run 3 heads without issue, and the other 8 heads I could “manually” run by using the EDIT SHAPE feature, but that was very time consuming. Enter the dry season, which motivated me past the procrastination. In early July, 2023 - I hopped on the app to do a manual EDIT SHAPE watering, and noticed everything had changed with the app & interface. (Looks like their new 1.17 release had hit) The MIRACULOUS change was that of the 8 previously erroring heads, only 1 was now erroring, and I was able to program schedules for all except the errored head. I eventually changed out that bad head with a new one. Now, for the first time in a very long time, I was able to program and schedule auto watering for 100% of my system. Many thanks developers and everyone else who had a hand at getting this fixed!!
