Swap hand watering your garden for more free time by installing a Wi-Fi-enabled tap timer from Holman.

 

Love your garden and want to ensure it thrives this summer? Any tap timer can set up a basic watering schedule, but these Holman Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connected smart watering systems are an even smarter solution, providing more convenience and control.

Use a tap timer for drip irrigation

Drip irrigation is one of the most efficient ways to set up a garden watering system for your home. With drip lines installed around your yard to deliver water directly to each plant’s roots, not a drop is wasted. Setting up drip irrigation is fairly straightforward, and connecting your garden watering system to a Holman WX1 Tap Timer and Wi-Fi Hub takes it one step further, automating your watering schedule so you can set and forget.

Set up multiple watering systems

One Wi-Fi hub can control up to four tap timers. This means that you can have separate watering schedules for your grass, flowers, vegetable garden and hedging, for example. Each of the timers can then be set up and controlled through your smartphone, with the Holman Home app, so you can adjust your schedules as necessary, such as if a sudden shower or heatwave hits, all using the app.

Smart tap timers give you more control

The Holman app monitors water usage from the tap timers, too, while soil moisture levels can be kept track of through the Holman Smart Moisture Sensor. You can then adjust your systems and schedules to get the best results for your garden, while still conserving water and providing peace of mind. This can help you to become more water-wise, and is one of many ways you can drought-proof your garden.

Tap the app

The Holman BX1 Bluetooth® Tap Timer can also be controlled through your smartphone, via a Bluetooth connection to the iGardener™ App. This single tap timer is water-restricted friendly, and allows for variations to watering duration, interval watering and flexible scheduling through the app.
