help LinkTap Smart Hose Timer FAQ
How does the LinkTap Smart Hose Timer connect to Wi-Fi?
The timer communicates with a dedicated wireless gateway over sub-1 GHz radio, while the gateway connects to the home's Wi-Fi network. This means the hose unit itself does not need to sit directly next to the Wi-Fi router.
Can the LinkTap Smart Hose Timer run different watering schedules?
Yes, the smartphone app lets users create customized watering schedules. It is intended for recurring garden-hose automation rather than only a single mechanical countdown.
Can I monitor watering remotely with LinkTap?
The system is designed to provide app-based monitoring of watering activity and device status. Remote access depends on the gateway having power and an active connection to the home's Wi-Fi.
Why does the LinkTap system need a gateway instead of only the hose timer?
The gateway bridges the timer's long-range sub-1 GHz radio link to the household Wi-Fi and smartphone service. That arrangement helps the outdoor valve communicate over distance while keeping Wi-Fi hardware indoors or near the network.
