Designed for scalability and ease of use, it supports up to 15 devices per gateway and features anti-freeze protection, making it the ultimate smart watering solution for modern gardens and lawns. ## 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: Well worth it! Better than most products! - I've tried other water timers, got disappointed, wasted time, and returned those. I came across LinkTap and was both amazed and surprised with the amount and quality of its documentation, diagrams, and samples how the network, the app, and capabilities work. Some wireless and bluetooth products just don't work typically asking you to separate a 2.4GHz band on your wifi which is old nowadays. Then they use buggy 3rd party apps. These cheaper ones don't even have instructions you can understand. I had no luck with those what should have been an easy setup. With LinkTap, the setup was a breeze. I was concerned about wiring the hub indoors on my network and wirelessly connect to the outdoor timer using Zigbee. I know about the tech but hard to tell indoor-outdoor signal strength until you deploy it. However, its already good to have a sepate wireless for its own. Great that I have spare Ethernet in a room that's in the middle of my front and backyard. This is way more stable. The app is very easy and worked instantly on my Samsung Galaxy. It also skipped watering when we had rain in the forecast. Now that I know this thing really works, I am buying a second timer! 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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Brand | LinkTap | | Colour | Gray | | Item Weight | 450 Grams | | Material | Plastic Aluminum | | Number of settings | 5 | | Product Dimensions | 7.3D x 10.2W x 16.3H Centimeters | ## Product Details - **Colour:** Gray - **Brand:** LinkTap - **Material:** Plastic Aluminum - **Item Weight:** 450 Grams - **Number of settings:** 5 ## Images ![LinkTap G2S Smart Water Timer & Gateway, Greater Range Than WiFi Hose Timer, Real-Time Fault Detection & Alerts, Weather Awareness, Automatic Sprinkler Watering System for Lawns and Yard, Anti-Freeze - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71zxhxSdeoL.jpg) ![LinkTap G2S Smart Water Timer & Gateway, Greater Range Than WiFi Hose Timer, Real-Time Fault Detection & Alerts, Weather Awareness, Automatic Sprinkler Watering System for Lawns and Yard, Anti-Freeze - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71w9jQfRbhL.jpg) ![LinkTap G2S Smart Water Timer & Gateway, Greater Range Than WiFi Hose Timer, Real-Time Fault Detection & Alerts, Weather Awareness, Automatic Sprinkler Watering System for Lawns and Yard, Anti-Freeze - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71OEB2woe3L.jpg) ![LinkTap G2S Smart Water Timer & Gateway, Greater Range Than WiFi Hose Timer, Real-Time Fault Detection & Alerts, Weather Awareness, Automatic Sprinkler Watering System for Lawns and Yard, Anti-Freeze - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71vSxDTpOFL.jpg) ![LinkTap G2S Smart Water Timer & Gateway, Greater Range Than WiFi Hose Timer, Real-Time Fault Detection & Alerts, Weather Awareness, Automatic Sprinkler Watering System for Lawns and Yard, Anti-Freeze - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71HQtrtTtoL.jpg) ## 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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well worth it!

The wireless range is excellent — far better than standard WiFi timers — which makes it perfect for larger gardens or areas where WiFi can’t reach. Setup is straightforward, and the app is very easy to use. Scheduling watering cycles, checking status, and making adjustments all work smoothly. The real-time error detection and notifications are a huge advantage: it immediately alerts you to leaks, valve issues, or unusual water usage, giving you peace of mind even when you're away from home. The built-in water flow meter is accurate and helps track water usage precisely. The device feels sturdy, weatherproof (IP66), and reliable in all conditions. If you want a smart irrigation system that combines long-range connectivity, great functionality, and dependable performance, this is an excellent choice.
