What Our Users Say
It’s amazing
This product is so much better than a basic timer that they lawn guy installed. There are so many features that are included. It tracks your water usage and price. Skip during days it’s going to rain. Skip freezing temps. The lawn guy who installed it was extremely impressed. He’s going to recommend it to his other customers.

Jarred Tabor, USA
Excellent product, solves remote valve control issues, great build quality and support!

I am running an extensive setup of 9 ValveLinkers (2 two zone, 9 single zone), all with LinkTap's inline flow meters (i.e., 11 flow meters), and two Gateways (plus extension cables to move my two furthest out ValveLinkers a bit closer to the gateway).

All of my valves connected to the single zones ValveLinkers are new DIG valves with their DC latching solenoids and my two 2 zone ValveLinkers connect to Hunter valves with their DC latching solenoids. The valves are spread across an acre of property and other than needing to bring the two furthest valves a bit closer, I have no connectivity issues and this system provides so much control, customization, and peace of mind. The build quality of the parts and the support are both top notch. I can't recommend this company and their products high enough, you get climate adjustments (precipitation and temperature), automatic shut off if flow rates are too high, deep customization options for when the program runs and all with true wireless internet connectivity. The value is there, it’s an upfront investment, but there are no ongoing fees for their service, and they stand by their products. Do yourself a favor and switch over to LinkTap, ideally with the flow meters which really unlocks so much peace of mind and information on your watering. Such a massive upgrade from Hunter Nodes! This product was way overdue and it’s been flawlessly executed!


Justin, USA
Still the most awesome!
No other product on the market comes close to how this automated watering device works and lasts. Glad I jumped on board at the beginning and I will never need to try anything else.

Bobby Aurora, USA
Great reliable system
I have 2 dual port controllers watering my gardens on schedules. This is so reliable and the info I get on flow rates, time and gallons is solid. I replaced b-hyve controllers that had become totally unreliable and barely functional due to their broken updates along with poor Bluetooth communications. I love these!
