This smart irrigation timer requires a Tuya Zigbee Hub (not included) and works with the Smart Life app. You can add routines such as timed schedules, repeatable programs, and interaction with your other smart devices. It uses weather data to ensure you're not watering the garden on rainy days and integrates with Alexa and Google Home for voice control. You can control the valve from your phone even when you're out, and it features a touch button for manual control. Zigbee technology is used for long-distance control and utilizes a zigbee mesh.
