RAINPOINT Smart Garden Hose Water Flow Meter with Real-Time Tracking & Usage Alert - Digital Flow Sensor, Smart Water Meter for Garden Hose with 2.4 Ghz Only WiFi Gateway Hub

eye opening just to realize how much water one uses.Easy to use and monitor your water usage.App is OK , did not require any degree in computer science to understand how to make it work.

I really like this water usage meter and the included hub. It works great, but unfortunately it didn't work as I had hoped for my needs for tracking reverse osmosis usage.This definitely seems to be more aimed at tracking actual garden hose output. I wanted to use this on my water hose -> reverse osmosis line for my water barrels, but due to the slow flow to the RO filter, it doesn't actually detect the slow flow and is unable to provide a measurement.If you put it on the end of an actual garden hose or the water pump I use on my rain barrel, the water output is accurately measured. Honestly I think my use-case is outside of the scope of this device and for that reason I am not faulting the product much.If you want to know how much water you are using during your gardening sessions, this is the perfect solution for you. If you're trying to measure your RO line usage like I am for my rain barrels, this won't work unless your RO line has a decent amount of flow (mine is on a 1/4").Adding additional devices for monitoring was also incredibly easy using the application.

Product came nicely packaged and easy enough to install the meter and setup the hub. Unfortunately, the flow meter never worked and looks to be DOA. I changed batteries and tried everything I could think of and could not get the meter to turn on. Obviously can't recommend the product.

The media could not be loaded. Easy to install the hub and then connect with the meter. Good connection overall with 2.4gb wifi to the hub, I think the hub uses a different wireless protocol to connect with the meter, which is common for these types of hubs. The hub can connect to multiple devices you can purchase individually. It is winter where I am so I tested this meter in the basement and will install outside in the Spring. The app was easy to install but confusing to find without using the QR code, there are a number of similar apps with similar icons. This is the Rainpoint HOME. Very easy to set up once installed. With everything this does, the apparent lack of integration with smart home systems and weather systems is disappointing. But as a standalone solution it is well made and works well.Likes- Easy to setup the hub and meter- Meter uses standard AAA batteries- Easy to install app- Flow visible on the meter as well as in the app- App showed flow in real time- Hub can be connected to other devices for irrigation control and water monitoringDislikes- No apparent integration with Google home or home kit- No apps for IFTTT for iot integration- No integration with weather systems

The media could not be loaded. This 3-star review is for the RainPoint Hub and Flow Meter, priced at $54.95.The device itself is innovative and has a lot of potential, but it’s let down by poor documentation. The instruction manual creates unnecessary confusion: one page instructs users to download the RainPoint app, while the next advises using the HomGar app. To clarify, the RainPoint app does not work with this device, but the HomGar app does.Hardware-wise, there are no major issues. The flow meter consistently defaulted to liters, which was frustrating at first. However, once the phone app was set to British units (gallons), the flow meter adjusted accordingly and stayed on gallons, thanks to its bi-directional communication feature.Overall, this is a solid product with good functionality, but the user experience is hampered by inadequate documentation. Clearer instructions would make this device much more user-friendly.

The RAINPOINT Smart Garden Hose Water Flow Meter is a fantastic tool for monitoring your water usage in real time. It provides precise tracking of water flow and sends alerts when usage exceeds set limits, helping you conserve water and save on utility bills. With its easy-to-use WiFi connectivity (compatible with 2.4 GHz networks), it integrates seamlessly with your smart home setup. Whether you're watering plants or cleaning, this smart meter offers useful insights, making it a must-have for anyone looking to manage their water consumption more efficiently. A great addition to any eco-conscious garden!
