Melnor BT

The app does not respond. My lawn had gone many days so water because the app is not functioning and you don’t have data from when it last started.

I’m handicapped an use Bluetooth to control water o swamp cooler. It works very inconsistent. I deleat program then reinstall. MELNOR shoude be ashamed and embarrassed. Program s VERY unreliable

Great concept—control your watering through your smartphone anytime, anywhere. HUGE problem is the app is designed with a 30’ range. In reality, the range is about 10-15’. I set my soaker hoses to run early in the morning while I’m asleep, but the timer doesn’t turn on if my phone is in my bedroom. Timer only works if my phone is in the room closest to the outdoor spigot. Forget ever leaving your house if you want it to work.

I made a huge mistake purchasing this unit. I bought it because I am out of town for three weeks and I wanted a timer I could set and forget about. I also wanted something I could control from a remote location, in this case, two hundred miles from my home. I was profoundly disappointed to learn that control is only available if the phone is within 30’ of the unit. Why would I buy a timer if I’m going to be at home to do the watering myself. So now, although I have a “water timer” hooked up to my watering system, I will have to have a friend come to my house to turn it on. I can’t even check the settings I had set up unless I am right on top of this thing. I’ll try to use it for the rest of the season but I’ll buy something different for next year. Worthless and a waste of money for what I needed. Disappointing.

I bought four of these, what a huge waste of money. They sort of worked the first year if I would walk around to each timer and adjust and operate from close range. When the season was over I drained the water and removed the batteries and stored them inside my house so no chance of freezing. New season I get them out and try to connect with no luck. My phone app will see them but that is all, when I try to make any changes the app wheel just spins and say loading then just stops. Worthless expensive junk.

Searching, searching, searching. It never gets beyond the search even though I’m standing right next to it.

Second season for this valve. Worked ok last year - using with iPhone for pretty simplistic program and on/off function from inside the house. This year, it won’t even load / connect using the same phone and same valve. It has fresh batteries. Guessing the app is not keeping up with iOS updates. Valve still works manually but the app is useless after several attempts. What’s up MELNOR?

Annoying with all the different settings..I spent more time programming that actually watering my plants..my last one didn’t last two years..

Timer has new batteries. When I click the timer to change the settings now nothing happens. Just says “loading” and then crashes. It has been like this for about a year now…

I’ve had to uninstall/reinstall dozens of times in the last few months. The only reason I have this dumb app is because I need it for work. Get different timers.
