Works, but you cannot control via voice. I want to Simply turn on/off using my voice but cannot as not IFTTT support or Siri voice. In order to manual control you have to fumble through a various taps on the app and if you have more than one, geez...

If you read the support forum on Orbit website, you'd see how many people have problems with this thing. I thought I would have some luck because I haven't had bad luck with purchases. But, there's a first time for everything, and I was wrong. 1. After setting up with Google Assistant, when I tell Google Assistant to set a timer, just saying "hey google, set a timer for 5 minutes" and without mentioning water or sprinkler or orbit or bhyve, it starts watering the yard. I had to unlink it from Google so that I can use the normal timer again. 2. Smart watering is useless. It says it will water at a certain time the next morning, then it never does it. It's like there's a software flaw where it removes the scheduled time from the calendar before it actually triggers the hub to start watering. The only thing I can do with this is use the manual watering feature, so it's not really smart.

Works great except didn’t like the smart water function I didn’t feel like it stayed on long enough for my drip water system
