Attention: To use LinkTap water timers, a LinkTap Gateway (not included) is required. One Gateway can control up to 15 LinkTap watering devices (G1S, G2S, D1, Q1, ValveLinker, or any combination of them).
Attention: LinkTap products utilize proprietary Zigbee protocols and are not compatible with third-party Zigbee devices.
Attention: G1S does not support any type of LinkTap flow meters
Cloud Controlled Watering: Keep your plants watered from anywhere when they need it. With the ability to set up to 100 watering cycles per day from 3 seconds to 24 hours per cycle duration, the G1S can meet any watering requirements
Reduce Waste: The LinkTap G1S automatic water timer lets you schedule watering times while taking weather conditions into account. Enjoy lower water bills and healthier plants by using only as much water as you need
Long-Lasting Battery Life: Equipped with a proprietary Zigbee protocol, the G1S provides wider, more reliable wireless coverage than Wi-Fi tap timers while using much less battery power
Built to Last: Our smart water timer is covered by a 2-year warranty. A UV-resistant exterior and IP66 waterproof design protects against damage from harsh weather conditions
Smart Anti-Freeze Protection: Automatically opens the valve when temperatures drop below a preset threshold, preventing ice buildup and reducing the risk of pipe damage.
Easy to Set Up: Save yourself the headache of a complicated installation. Setup is as easy as scanning the device’s QR code from the app. With this one scan, the devices will automatically connect to each other in seconds
