RAINPOINT WiFi Water Timer for Garden Hose — Brass Inlet, 2-Zone Smart Controller with Ethernet Gateway & Flow Monitoring

RAINPOINT WiFi Water Timer is a two-zone smart hose controller that automates drip and sprinkler watering with weather-aware scheduling, water-flow monitoring, and both WiFi and Ethernet connectivity.

Designed for gardeners who want precise control and reliable connectivity, this 2-zone irrigation controller pairs with RAINPOINT's Ethernet gateway to maintain strong signals up to 250 meters and through several walls. It accepts a durable brass inlet and a built-in metal filter, supports Alexa and Google voice commands, and offers multiple watering modes and frequency options so you can tailor irrigation to plant needs and local conditions.

How does this controller keep watering reliable even with poor WiFi?

The unit includes the HWG040 Ethernet gateway option that supports 2.4GHz WiFi and a wired Ethernet link, providing a stronger, more stable connection and extended range. One gateway can manage up to eight compatible RAINPOINT devices, forming a resilient local irrigation network.

• Ethernet + 2.4GHz WiFi gateway for uninterrupted signals
• Signal range up to 250 meters and penetration through 3–4 walls
• One gateway pairs with up to 8 RAINPOINT smart devices

What scheduling and watering modes can I use for different plants?

Each of the two zones supports up to six independent programs and three irrigation styles: Normal, Cycle & Soak, and Misting. You can select everyday, odd/even days, interval (2–30 days), or custom weekday schedules to match soil type and plant water needs.

• Up to 6 plans per zone for complex routines
• Frequency options: daily, odd/even, interval, custom weekdays
• Cycle & Soak for deep watering, misting for delicate seedlings

How does the timer use weather and water data to save water?

The controller can adjust or postpone scheduled runs based on current weather, soil moisture (when paired with sensors), and temperature data. It also tracks water flow per zone to help you spot leaks or overwatering and to fine-tune durations for efficiency.

• Automatic rain delay: 1–30 days when local data indicates wet conditions
• Seasonal percentage adjustment (10%–200%) to change duration monthly
• Built-in flow meter with ±5% accuracy and 24-hour monitoring

What build features protect the system and simplify upkeep?

The RAINPOINT timer uses a brass inlet and an upgraded coil valve for durability under sunlight and higher pressure, plus an internal metal filter to resist clogs. An IP65-grade battery cover and seals prevent moisture intrusion, while alerts notify you of failures or offline status so you can act quickly.

• Brass inlet resists heat and improves leak resistance
• Metal filter and upgraded coil valve for smoother flow
• IP65 sealing on battery cover to reduce water ingress risks

Who is this for? The RAINPOINT 2-zone WiFi Water Timer suits homeowners, hobbyist gardeners, and small-scale growers who need dependable remote control, water usage visibility, and weather-adaptive irrigation. It’s ideal for lawns, flower beds, patios, greenhouses, and drip systems where precise timing, leak detection, and voice control (Alexa/Google Assistant) provide convenience and conserve water without daily manual adjustments.
