User Reviews

Users praise remote smartphone control and easy Link2 setup, but repeatedly report stability and UX problems: poor, slow connections; an outdated interface; frequent login/password issues; and updates that don’t port old configurations or lose data. Overall sentiment is negative despite the core value of remote control.
Pros
  • Remote control of the sprinkler system via smartphone.
  • Link2 WiFi module enables easy WiFi setup and control.
  • Ability to control the system from anywhere (home or away).
  • Overall convenience of remote monitoring and adjustments.
Cons
  • Frequent connectivity issues: long to connect, unstable connections, and timeouts.
  • Outdated, non-intuitive, and clunky UI/UX; not very user-friendly.
  • Login/logout problems and password reset failures.
  • Updates not porting existing systems and causing loss of zone names or other data.
  • General reliability concerns including glitches and slow performance.

The app starts but takes forever to get the data from the module. It’s not my wifi. Then it disconnects with a communication error after beginning to run a station. I have 50+ other IoT and mesh with zero issues so it’s not my network.

It would be awesome if there was a blowout mode. When planning a manual water, there could be a delay block that can be added. This would allow the compressor to catch up between zones.

Hard to figure out. Too much functionality.
