## Overview

The LinkTap G2S Smart Garden Hose Timer offers a 2-year battery life and advanced weather-adaptive irrigation control via a reliable Zigbee mesh network. Featuring aerospace-grade composite inlets and real-time leak detection with instant alerts, it ensures efficient, worry-free watering for gardens of all sizes. Easy to install and scalable, it’s designed for professionals and enthusiasts who demand precision, durability, and smart automation in their irrigation systems.

## Description

LinkTap G2S is a 1-outlet smart water timer designed for “set it and trust it” watering when you’re busy or away. It works with the LinkTap Gateway (hardwired to your router) and uses a Zigbee-based wireless link for strong, reliable coverage, ideal for yards where typical Wi-Fi hose timers struggle. Optional LinkTap Extenders let you build a true mesh network for large gardens or difficult sites. Beyond scheduling, G2S focuses on peace of mind. With built-in flow monitoring plus a fall/drop sensor, it can detect issues in real time, such as leaks, clogs, valve failures, water cut-off, device drop, or disconnection, and send push notifications and email alerts within minutes, so you can act before water waste or damage escalates. Advanced Flow Monitoring adds deeper protection by spotting abnormal flow behavior and can be configured to automatically shut off water when an abnormality is detected. Weather-aware automation helps you save water without babysitting the app: customizable rain skip and temperature-adaptive watering adjust your plan to conditions. For sudden cold snaps, Smart Anti-Freeze Protection uses the built-in temperature sensor to flush water in short bursts based on your settings, with flushing behavior automatically increasing as temperatures drop. Many hose timers highlight brass fittings. Brass can be strong, but metal threads can seize over time and some brass alloys may contain lead. LinkTap uses an aerospace-grade, fiber-reinforced composite inlet designed for metal-rivaling strength while being lead-free and rust-proof. Its self-adaptive threads are designed to seal securely without Teflon tape and make installation/removal easier season after season. From simple daily watering to complex multi-cycle programs, G2S supports powerful scheduling by date, duration, and volume, and works with drip lines, sprinklers, and custom irrigation setups. Trusted by demanding users from home gardens to vineyards, vegetable farms, and research sites.

Review: Impressive irrigation management – for those who didn't think they need it! - Super impressed. Seems like a lot of outlay for a small garden but installed and worked flawlessly. App is great, feature-rich and simple to use. Auto shut-off, fall and low/high flow alarms, smart weather settings... excellent value. Will buy again.
Review: Good Product - Great Product! No BS, no nonsense, it just works. Despite the all-plastic construction, it has yet to leak. The valve operates relatively slowly, preventing water hammer to an extent. That being said, I have highly filtered well water, which operates at a lower pressure than city water; your mileage may vary. The recent UI update to the app has greatly improved the experience. Battery life is good, and I have had no issues with the wireless connection from the valves to the gateway. The system uses a proprietary adaptation of the ZigBee protocall which uses the 2.4Ghz band. If you live in a crowded RF environment, you may have to experiment with different ZigBee channels to find one that's ideal. It was easy to install and configure with the gateway requiring a wired 10/100 Ethernet connection and 5V power over micro USB. One way the gateway could be improved is by supporting PoE; a lot of people, myself included, use it with various 3rd-party automation systems like Home Assistant and have PoE switches. I think support for PoE alongside a 5V input would be appreciated. On the topic of Home Assistant, the integration via HACS works great, allowing for local HTTP control over the valves and live stats reporting. Their app UI previously was atrocious, which is what prompted me to use Home Assistant for control, but since the update, I would be comfortable using the LinkTap app and their web services for control. Furthermore, they designed the valve firmware in such a way that the valves will continue to execute their watering schedule if something were to go wrong with the gateway or your internet connection. This also means that you could program the valve in proximity to the gateway, then move it to a remote location out of reach of the gateway, and it will continue to function. Overall, good product.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long is this product on the market?**
A: LinkTap's first generation wireless water timer (G1) was released on 07/2017. The current G2S is LinkTap's third generation water timer, which is the enhanced version of previous G2 model. The G2S was released on 02/2021.

**Q: Does linktap have a manual (non-wireless) version of this timer?  the usa seams to be lacking in a high quality manual timer.**
A: No.

**Q: Is the timer water tight so you don't have to cover it when it rains**
A: Yes. The water timer is IP66 rated. There is no need to cover it when it rains.

**Q: How is it with high temperatures like in Arizona?**
A: I don’t think I have had mine long enough to know for sure. I just bought mine a few months ago.  It has held up to several weeks in the high 80’s and low 90s with high humidity. We are in the coastal part of Virginia but the temps haven’t gotten into the high 90s and 100s yet.  I don’t think we ever get quite as high as Arizona. My device is in partial shade.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Straordinario.
*by I***O on 29 October 2023*

Ho acquistato il G2S con flussometro circa un mese fa. E ne ho valutato l’utilizzo per tutto questo tempo. Il prodotto è davvero affidabile, funzionale e direi anche eccezionale. Senza ombra di dubbio un ottimo acquisto, a tal punto che ne ho acquistato un secondo per una casa vacanze per irrigare 5 vasi. Installazione e configurazione molto semplice e rapida. Basta leggere attentamente le istruzioni che sono anche in italiano. Il Gateway, installato all’interno della casa e collegato via cavo al modem/router dà garanzia di affidabilità. Il TapLinker solido ed efficiente e ho apprezzato molto il tasto di accensione e spegnimento, anche se fino ad ora non l’ho mai spento. L'app è molto professionale, direi fenomenale. Tutto in lingua italiana. Facilmente programmabile. Ci si può sbizzarrire con tutte le programmazioni possibili e immaginabili. Avvisi/allarmi puntuali. L’unica cosa che non è precisa è la segnalazione dell’interruzione del flusso d’acqua. Arrivano sull’app dei falsi allarmi. Ho deciso quindi di disattivare questa funzionalità. Ora che si va incontro all’inverno, monitorerò come funziona la parte meteo. Il costo è sicuramente impegnativo, ancora di più se ne si acquistano due. Ma personalmente non amo prodotti mediocri da sostituire dopo un anno. Soldi ben spesi. Mi riservo di aggiornare la recensione solo dopo aver constatato l’affidabilità nel tempo. Consiglio sicuramente l’acquisto.
