You are my go-to smart-home expert. We bought a home in December, and with your help, I have upgraded the Smoke Detectors, Door Locks, Thermostat, and Doorbell. I keep watching your videos about security cameras over and over again... trying to make a decision. Today is the first day of Spring. I will need to figure out the sprinkler system pretty soon. When I went to check out the control panel, the door fell off, the knob and inner panel fell off, and the insides are full of 25 years of dust and grime (similar to my Smoke Detector experience). Your unboxing, installation, and setup videos give me the information I need to make a purchase decision and the confidence to complete the installation. Many other channels have endless chatter than contributes nothing valuable. Thank you. You do excellent work that makes a direct and positive impact on my family.
Wonderful video I loved it. Explanations were clear you showed how everything works and I think I want to buy a beehive. Thank you so much great information.
Hi, thank you very much for helping me with your nice video ! May ask you one question please: I need to switch on a pump that increases the water pressure each time any of the zone,, could you please tell me how to do this when using the Ofbit 94546 timer. ? Thank you
If the WiFi signal is lost while away from home can it be reestablished remotely through the app? Or do you have to manually hit the reset button then reconnect WiFi?
What do you mean go through zones 4 times? Is it going to sprinkle EACH zone four times?! If you water each zone four times, can you set that manually as well? Thanks.
So after you select the Orbit network and set up, then do you need to go back and reset to ISP network? Do you ever need to go back to Orbit network? Thanks.
It says to begin pairing process, tap Open Settings. I did not see you do that. Where and how do you tap open settings? Open settings is for Orbit not your ISP. Thanks.
nice review - did you have any issues connecting to wifi? seeing alot of Amazon reviews of problems with wifi never connecting or constantly disconnecting - thanks
If I have these units installed at 3 separate properties of mine and each unit is connected to a WiFi connection, can I control each unit separately via the app, if say I'm in Antarctica with cell phone data service?
Damn, looks heavy. I was contemplating using adhesive squares, but this looks too bulky. Not eve sure I can use existing screw(s) when remove old timer. Would the high quality adhesive hooks you can use for paintings be sufficient? I do like the manual control option since so many people report wi-fi problems. With Rachio about all you do manually is turn off and on --- no scheduling.
I see you have been using this for a couple of years now, how has the smart watering working out? any tips or advice that may help us out? I just got mine up and running and i'm confused on the moisture setting? What is the target moisture range the software is looking for? I purchased a moisture sensor but it doesn't readout in percentage just scale from 1 to 10 so it really doesn't correlate with the software.
Thanks for the video as it is well done. However, pitiful software with this device! There is NO product support and their "contact us" is a pathetic joke. We are sorry we purchased this device. Best of luck!
I purchased it and it was working fine. I canceled my internet package and I received a new router that’s when this system stopped working. I contacted the company and they said I needed to upgrade my router to the one I had at first. It started working properly til a few days after. I contacted them again and they said I needed to reboot the system, I did and it still didn’t work. So I purchased orbit’s basic sprinkler timer and I’m happy with it.
@@jeffzest8393 not sure but its been returned now and swapped for a more reliable brand unit, there is an issue with the app software that they just keep failing to update, three units later and lots of dead plants....was not worth the hassle
