RAINPOINT WiFi Water Timer with Brass Inlet - Smart 2-Zone Controller

In this review the RAINPOINT WiFi Water Timer with Brass Inlet is presented as a practical smart irrigation controller for homeowners and hobby gardeners who want reliable automated watering without complicated wiring. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of a durable pure brass inlet and flexible smart controls, which let users run two independent zones with weather, quantity or soil-driven schedules through the RainPoint app or voice assistants. For those who need a simple, robust hose-to-valve timer the unit balances build quality and feature depth in everyday gardening situations.

Key Features

• Durable Pure Brass Inlet: The brass inlet with 360 metal thread provides a long-lasting connection that resists wear from repeated hose attachments.
• Two Independent Outlets: Two valves let users run separate schedules or zones, useful for a lawn and a drip line at the same time.
• Weather-Based Watering: The WiFi timer adjusts or skips watering based on local weather data, reducing unnecessary watering after rain.
• Quantity-Based Irrigation: Built-in flow meters track water use for up to 10 days so users can irrigate to a set quantity rather than only time.
• Soil Moisture Integration: The valve can pair with a soil sensor (sold separately) so watering only runs when moisture is below a target level.
• App and Voice Control: Full control via the RainPoint app with Alexa and Google Assistant support for manual and scheduled runs.

Who It's For

The RAINPOINT timer is a good fit for homeowners with outdoor faucets who want to automate two zones without rewiring or a central controller. It works well for drip irrigation and sprinkler lines where measuring quantity or skipping water during wet weather is important.

It is less appropriate for large multi-zone systems that need more than two valves or professional landscape installations that require advanced flow diagnostics; also buyers who cannot rely on home WiFi may prefer a fully mechanical timer.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid brass inlet increases longevity and reduces thread wear on the faucet connection.
• Helpful smart features like weather-based scheduling and flow metering support real water savings.
• Simple app setup and voice control make daily adjustments quick and accessible.
• Ability to irrigate by soil moisture or quantity adds flexibility for plants with varying needs.

Cons

• WiFi connectivity is generally good but some users report occasional connection issues that affect remote control.
• Soil sensor required for moisture-based watering is not included, so expect an extra purchase for that feature.
