G2S Smart Garden Water Timer & Gateway, 2-Year Battery Life

Once you buy plants you must look after them, one of the key thing is to water the plants regularly and on time. I bought Link G2S gateway and watering dive over a year ago and I must say this is one of the device which I would highly recommend, an excellent product and robust design, so simple to assemble and start using it. Product - There is nothing out there in the market that matches the quality, reliability and durability of this product, I have had few in the past and this one is above the class. The batteries last forever, well I haven’t yet changed mine and I can see on the app over one year if use it’s still 60%. There are so many features that comes with the device that you would be blown away, weather forecast, don’t worry about turning your timer off, the devices skips watering plan if the forecast is to be rainy, Customer service- one of the best customer service team I had to deal with, Jack is an amazing person works for the company based in Australia, I had few queries and Jack sorted them out promptly. This would be a game changer for you, the best product out there in the market, absolutely no match to its quality and performance.

This is an excellent product. Using it for a few weeks now and can’t fault it. It’s easy to setup and install. Comes with a base unit that wires into your network and it pairs with one or more battery powered water timer control devices that attaches to your tap. It uses a private Zigbee network instead of wifi (like Philips Hue lights) so is very efficient on battery on the tap unit. It has a very flexible app that once you get used to it can be configured with whatever schedule want including links to the weather forecast to avoid watering on rainy days. Best feature for me is that it links with Home Assistant which allows you to control and monitor water usage along with all your other smart devices. The smart control of the tap is flawless with no leaks. It’s not the cheapest device but it is quality and better to pay a little more for quality than less for sub standard devices that only partially work. I use to supply water to my irrigation system for my new flower beds and plan to get second tap put in and will be getting a second unit. Highly recommend

Over the years I have purchased lots of things on Amazon that were designed and manufactured in China. They usually nearly work. While looking for an automated watering controller, I took a lot of care to make sure I did not purchase a wholly Chinese designed and manufactured product. I used to be in the electronics industry and worked with Taiwanese and Chinese manufacturers. I know from experience that if they try to design and build something for the west, for example emulating other western products, the quality and attention to detail is often missing. This was the reason I wanted to avoid any surprises. I found the LinkTap G2S product and purchased it. It was cheaper than the branded watering systems we are all familiar with in the UK, substantially so. It was designed in Australia, and the reviews were positive. I was not disappointed. It was easy to install and configure. You can download an app for it. It comes with a special gateway which you need to connect to your network through a wired connection. The control connection between the gateway and the external tap adapter is wireless, but does not use WiFi. I assume it uses one of the new very low power connections such as Zigbee. Once configured you can turn the tap on remotely, or set it for a timed duration. You can also set it up to deliver xx litres of water if you have the flow control device attached. That for example was useful for topping up the pond, set a value like 100 litres and forget about it. (Mine came with the flow controller). In terms of the physical tap and hose connectors, it is compatible with Hozelock and Gardena systems. So very easy to install and use. It also is aware of your location, and while not relevant in my case because I am watering a greenhouse, if you are watering outside, it can adjust the schedule based on your local weather, either delivering less water, more water or not at all based on temperature and weather. I have been using this system for around 1 month now, no issues at all. If you are looking for an automated controller that you can set up to cover vacations, or for general daily use and have very accurate control over the device, and a record of how it is working you could not go far wrong purchasing one of these. On the other end of my system is a Gardena distribution network set up for my greenhouse.

This product is epic. It works sooooo well that it's hard to believe!! You can have anything from the simplest to the most detailed watering schedules programmed in and it compares them to historical rainfall and/or local forecast rainfall, that can override the program. It measures exact water flow and tells you accurate costs depending on your specific water tariff. It detects water leaks or water blockages or if the item fell off the tap onto the floor (if someone/child tampered with it etc) The app is amazing: You can check and change everything from anywhere in the world, yet the user interface is so easy and simple. Best of all, and very unique in the world of customer service, is just how amazing the company is to deal with, in the unlikely and rare event that something is less than perfect with your product or experience. After 3(!) years of faultless operation in all weather's, my TapLinker stopped connecting to the wifi gateway unit, after a battery change. But, after a single short email to their customer support attaching a short video, they (Jack) instantly dispatched a brand new unit (<1 hour from email to resolution!) Free Of Charge to me, that was with me via Amazon next day Prime as always. Truly painless and epic from start to finish. VERY HIGHLY recommended 👌 👍 👏

Easy installation. Good build quality. Doesn’t leak. App interface is simple but comprehensive. Functionality is excellent. Gateway connectivity is excellent. Highly recommended.

If this had have been a little cheaper, I would have given it 5 stars. Yes, it's a very well made device with a proper app (thought a little over confusing to be fair) and a decent wifi range but it is a lot of money. The extender that came with ours was well worth it as I struggle to get a wifi signal at the end of our garden but this connected no problem. Setting this up was easy and being able to see how much water is being pumped out over a given time is super helpful when you know how much water you want to give your plants/veg. The device being able to choose whether to water based on the weather, and by a user set amount, is a water saving and helps your plants get the water they need rather than water logging your soil as with a regular not-so-smart watering system. If we ever need a second one, I would definitely buy one though I just wish it was a little bit more affordable..

I don’t write review often but very impressed with this product. I ordered a similar product and had to return as I couldn’t connect to WiFi but this product is easy to set up and works really well. Build quality feels good and plenty of safety features too!

G2-S bought a week ago. Really impressed with both the timers and the gateway. Setting them up is very easy. I have the networked gateway set up in a bedroom upstairs with 2 timers at the front and 1 at the back of the house. There is a WiFi signal strength test in the app which tells me that all 3 timers have a very good signal. Setting the watering times is also very easy. The app records how much water is used each day and also records a running total. Watering times can be fine tuned to the minute so you don't waste by over watering. You can set up email alerts for restricted flow, extra flow, and even if the timer falls off its perch. You also get an alert when the timers start and stop each time. Amazing really the technology inside them. They are expensive but they are above and beyond the normal consumer unit that I have previously used. The app works on an iPhone, M1 Mac and although an app is not available for an iMac, the timers can be controlled via the web, which is identical to the app. The timers take 4 x AA batteries and there is a low battery alarm. The makers reckon they should last 2 years. I'm very pleased I bought this kit.

I've used this device to consistently water my tiny, mostly concrete "yard" while I was away on vacation. This product saved my plants from certain doom. I fell for the allure of an alternative product with a WiFi hub (which I couldn't even set up due to massive bugs in the app). One might consider this device requiring an ethernet connection a weakness, prima facie. After actually owning it I don't feel this way at all. It's designed to work well under a variety of conditions with minimal intervention, and the design has a small price to pay there with wired connectivity. The app might seem dated but it contains a ton of functionality that also, simply works. The most important point that I'd want to convey here is that this Linktap device is a serious and reliable product. This is much unlike the competition (I had a very bad experience trying to set up a Rachio device while communicating with their obviously AI-driven support team, and the rest of their competition looks like knock-offs and copy cats). The product has an array of features such as drop detection and irregular flow detection that unequivocally demonstrate seriousness and maturity. The timer just WORKS and reliably notifies me, and while the app records a ~50% signal strength it's enough to trigger within a minute most of the time. Oh and a two year warranty which screams confidence. And, at least as of this writing in August 2025, no subscription fee. Overall, I'm impressed and my garden lives on while I'm away. 5/5.

Super impressed. Seems like a lot of outlay for a small garden but installed and worked flawlessly. App is great, feature-rich and simple to use. Auto shut-off, fall and low/high flow alarms, smart weather settings... excellent value. Will buy again.

Really good and easy to setup! Perfect for the store to cool down the fridge fans

The LinkTap G2S Wireless Irrigation Computer is one of the most reliable and well-designed watering systems I’ve used. The wireless range is excellent — far better than standard WiFi timers — which makes it perfect for larger gardens or areas where WiFi can’t reach. Setup is straightforward, and the app is very easy to use. Scheduling watering cycles, checking status, and making adjustments all work smoothly. The real-time error detection and notifications are a huge advantage: it immediately alerts you to leaks, valve issues, or unusual water usage, giving you peace of mind even when you're away from home. The built-in water flow meter is accurate and helps track water usage precisely. The device feels sturdy, weatherproof (IP66), and reliable in all conditions. If you want a smart irrigation system that combines long-range connectivity, great functionality, and dependable performance, this is an excellent choice. Highly recommended!
