The future is here and now, and it involves keeping your lawn or small outdoor garden hydrated while minding your water usage in general — no trip outdoors required. We found a Wi-Fi-enabled smart sprinkler that reviewers are calling a “game changer” for small- and medium-sized yards, and it’s currently on sale for 30% off for Prime Members, the lowest price it’s been all year. This smart device acts as a triple-outlet smart plug by letting you program up to three hoses and set a schedule for each. That means you can set three separate watering zones for your yard or garden, each with its own sprinkler head, and turn them on and off independently, all with a tap of a button via an integrated app. It’s a “great way to keep your garden hydrated,” and so many folks say it’s especially easy to setup and operate via your Wi-Fi connection.
By easy, we mean it truly takes minutes and minimal effort to get this smart sprinkler going.
Just twist the device onto your outdoor spigot, connect it to your Wi-Fi via the app and then you can set your watering schedule from there. You can program each hose you’ve twisted on one to a specific watering frequency (choosing which days you’d like to water your yard, garden or specific beds in your garden from Monday through Sunday) and for up to 1 to 60 minutes.
The sprinkler stays connected to your Wi-Fi at up to 196 feet away, so you can control the timer practically anywhere in your home, and it doesn’t require a power source.
You can manually turn it on by tapping one of its three buttons on the sprinkler itself or use the smartphone app and custom schedule to get them going.
There’s even a “rain delay” setting that lets you skip watering for up to 72 hours, which is super handy when it’s raining already or you know a storm is on its way!
Users say they use theirs while on vacation or on the road, thanks to the ease of the smartphone app.
You can even set it up with voice commands like Alexa and Google Assistant, so you don’t need to glance at your phone if you’re busy with other things.
Need a little more insight on how helpful this smart sprinkler is? Take a look below at some promising reviews from people who use it and love it.
“Easy to install and the App is easy to use. I have them around the outside of the house to control my garden and yard watering with a click of a button on the App. Manual controls are easy to use if you don’t have your phone with you!” — Michael Blanchard
“This watering timer works just great! The wifi feature means no more running in and out the door to turn the sprinkler on or off (and usually getting wet while doing this.) It is VERY easy to set up, the hub needs only to be somewhere easily accessible for the user and the timer links flawlessly. While you’re outside hooking up the hoses it is very easy to test either side with the push of a button on the front of the timer just to make sure of water pressure and adjust how wide you may wish the sprinkler pattern to be. Once it’s set, you can monitor, change times and length of watering events, all from the comfort of your easy chair with the phone in hand. Highly recommend especially if getting out to the hose bib is onerous for those with mobility issues.” — BuffyWatson
“After ordering 3 different WiFi water sprinklers, I have finally found a dependable water sprinkle. Being on the road constantly, I never have had to worry about my WiFi water sprinkler watering my grass for 3 days straight anymore. Thanks for being durable and dependable” — Amazon Customer

“This has made watering our yard a breeze! It has a decent little instruction manual that comes with it along with all the items neededto connect. It sets up very easy on your smart phone and so far we’ve had no problem with it. It’s been so useful that we decided to purchase an additional one!” — Mike Brown
“My son was able to install the app and set up the timers while I ran our two hoses with sprinklers out to water our new tree (one spout) and new bush & herbs on a basic hose-splitter (second spout). The wi-fi hub plugged right inside the porch by where it connected and I was able to keep our new plantings happy during a 10-day-heatwave while we were our of town. Love that the app postpones watering based on weather.” — James E. Wagoner
