Automatic 4-Zone Irrigation System Controller Garden Water Timer Watering Computer with 2 Solenoid Valve

Funciona genial! Muy muy recomendable

Il faut qq petites minutes pour bien comprendre le fonctionnement et ensuite tout est très bien. A noter, après 2 mois d'utilisation quotidienne le corps s'est fissuré et n'était plus étanche. Le fournisseur m'a expédié sans délai un kit de rechange et même si j'ai dû passer commande et payer d'avance pour suivre le "process", j'ai reçu le produit ET le remboursement en moins de 4 jours ! Bravo pour le sérieux du fournisseur YARDEENSTORE et le suivi de AMAZON ! Sylvain

I feel I should write a review to give you an opinion on this but also to point out a few things! I am not an expert and had no idea what a 'solenoid valve' was, I do now! In the picture you can see 2 white box type attachments with a hose attachment on the end, these get connected at the back by the small black wire to the various 'stations'. This will then work your hose attachment on the programme you set. The other two hose attachments are not programmable unless you buy more solenoid valves, easily available through Amazon and only £10 each so not too much extra expense. You will need to purchase 2 more if you intend to run 4 different hoses off this system. In fact it is to me a bonus to leave one free as you can then attach a regular hose and turn on at any time to do some pot watering etc. The programming itself is not too difficult but the instructions are rubbish! You can work it out yourself with a little trial and error. The previous person who said it is a bit random in its watering I now understand. This timer basically works through each separate hose attachment at a time. For example, if I set the first 'station' to come on at 8am for 40 minutes it will do this programme and even if I put the same for the next 'station' it waits until it has finished the first programme. So, in fact the second 'station' doesn't start at 8am but at 8.40am. This doesn't bother me at all and may explain why the previous poster found it went off at sporadic times. Overall I like this, takes a little bit of working out and maybe buying an extra solenoid valve or two but it works now.

Correct, installation facile, intuitive. J'ai eu quelques petits soucis avec la sortie d'eau réglable, les boutons étaient figés sur 0 et bloqués, donc pas d'eau. Il faut insister, ces petites manettes sont difficiles, j'ai pris une pince pour les ouvrir. Ensuite la programmation, oui il est possible de démarrer les 4 arrosages à des heures différentes (contrairement à ce que certains ont écrit) et de mettre des durées d'arrosage différentes. Ensuite avec la manette de sortie d'eau on peut régler l'intensité d'arrosage. C'est donc assez précis. Un système de détection de pluie est livré avec l'appareil, qui permet de différer le prochain arrosage en cas de pluie, pas encore testé. Attention à votre programmation, si ça ne démarre pas c'est mal programmé. Verifiez les données enregistrées. Seules 2 sorties sont programmables tel que l'appareil est livré, pour utiliser les 4 il faut acheter 2 vannes supplémentaires, ou rester en manuel. Mode d'emploi livré en allemand et en anglais. Mon seul regret, on ne peut programmer qu'un arrosage par jour par voie d'eau. Si on veut arroser 2 fois par jour la même platebande, 1 arrosage devra être manuel.

Bought this to automate the watering of four separate flowerbeds in my garden. First lesson is this kit only comes with two solenoids, which only allows you automatically switch On/Off two of the four hose pipe outlets. This may be enough for you but in my case, I needed the four, so I had to buy another two solenoids. Second lesson is that the programming is not what I was expecting. It is advertised as having 4 x programmes, 4 x cycles, duration setting and Interval setting. Well, I thought this could give me endless configurations if I needed them but that’s not exactly what it delivers. The logic is 1. You can have up to 4 periods of watering in a 24hr period. Each one of these periods is referred to as a Programme. So for example watering will automatically start at say 2am, 4am, 2pm and 4pm. 2. For each of the watering periods (Programmes) you can have up to 4 Cycles each with a predefined duration for each of the four water outlets. However, the set of four Cycle Durations you have defined is replicated across the four programmes. 3. You can set up intervals at which your predefined programmes will run, Daily, 1 every 2 days or one every 3 day etc or on predefined days of the week So as an example, I set up 4 x Programmes at 2am, 4am, 2pm and 4pm and four cycles each of 10 mins in duration to run daily across the four outlets…..This is what will happen. On everyday 02:00 - 02:10 - Water to Output One will run for 10mins and switch off 02:10 - 02:20 - Water to Output Two will run for 10mins and switch off 02:20 - 02:30 - Water to Output Three will run for 10mins and switch off 02:30 - 02:40 - Water to Output Four will run for 10mins and switch off 02:40 – 04:00 – No activity 04:00 - 04:10 - Water to Output One will run for 10mins and switch off 04:10 - 04:20 - Water to Output Two will run for 10mins and switch off 04:20 - 04:30 - Water to Output Three will run for 10mins and switch off 04:30 - 04:40 - Water to Output Four will run for 10mins and switch off Etc etc. It will actually work for me but is less flexible than I thought it would be. The programming logic for me seems like it has been designed by an Alien.
