Holman Home App and WX1 WiFi Watering Timer
After several years of using the Holman Home App and WX1 WiFi Watering Timer, I can confidently say that both products have been instrumental in keeping my garden thriving without any hassle. The Holman Home App has proven to be incredibly user-friendly and reliable. The app allows me to effortlessly control and monitor my watering schedule. Transitioning between winter and summer watering routines is a breeze; all I have to do is turn the schedule on and off according to the season which I’ve created initially. The WX1 WiFi Watering Timer has been a game-changer for my gardening needs. It stands up admirably to the extreme heat of Adelaide summers, where temperatures can soar to 48°C. The timer is exposed to direct sunlight and continues to function flawlessly. The only maintenance required is ensuring the batteries are not drained, which is a task considering the benefits. Overall, I am 100% satisfied with both the Holman Home App and the WX1 WiFi Watering Timer. These products provide peace of mind, knowing that my garden will receive the necessary care with minimal effort on my part. Their reliability and ease of use make them indispensable tools for any gardening enthusiast.
Poor choice
Clunky, non-intuitive, difficult to add multiple devices frequent data dropout. Wish I hadn’t bought it.
Nice product, need HomeKit support
Be nice if this app has HomeKit support. Just a bit annoyed having one app for each smart device brand. Otherwise, it is quite easy to use.
Always losing data
We have this app for garden watering and water system. Constantly deletes our data so we can’t remotely use the services. Open the app and it’s blank requiring a restart on linking again. Pain in the butt.
Weather station works well, but no desktop access is a major drawback
The Helios weather station hardware works well, and the app does a reasonable job, but being locked into a mobile-only app is very frustrating. There is no way to view Helios data on a desktop computer. The removal of Weather Underground integration has made this significantly worse - it was standard with a prior model which provided more data analysis/views/history. A basic web interface or third-party integration should be standard for a premium weather station like this.
Great tech support
I have been using a 3-point watering system with moisture sensors for over two years and it has been a great garden-saver as we travel a lot. A recent problem with a moisture sensor (as inevitably happens with electronic devices) has been patiently followed through by Holman remote support, finally remotely identifing an obscure problem and replacing product without question. Full marks for support, Holman!
Buggy, watering functions do not save properly, leading to water waste
I have 2 smart timers hooked up to 2 separate irrigation systems. Rain delay feature does not save in the ABC starts section. This means that after a heavy rainfall, the irrigation system will just start watering as normal instead of delay delaying it. The rain delay feature does not save extremely frustrating.
Good but missing some helpful / informative functions.
I’m using this app for watering only. Easy set up and control but lacks detailed tracking of watering. If you want to know how much water you are using each watering cycle you can only view the last cycle. Adding an alert for spikes in water usage would be useful for identifying leaks if they occur also.
Login in issues with app
I’m constantly having to reset the password as the app dose not place the password and login in the keychain or password manager. This issues occurs after IOS dose a update or the app times out It dose not offer Face ID as a login option it needs to do better The other parts of the app work fine .
Useful app but could be better
The Holman Home app is a very useful tool for irrigation management. Device control and scheduling work well, and the integration with the Helios weather station is particularly valuable for making smarter watering decisions. One usability issue is the way rainfall data is currently visualised. The rainfall graph appears as a line that rises and falls depending on rainfall each hour. However, it does not display accumulated rainfall, which makes it difficult to determine how much rain has actually fallen over a given period. Because of this, users cannot easily see totals such as rainfall over the past 24 hours. The only way to estimate this currently is to tap individual data points in the history graph and manually add the values together. A clearer and more informative approach would be: • Display **hourly rainfall totals using a bar chart** (mm per hour). • Provide a **cumulative rainfall line or total value** alongside the bars. • Include clear totals such as **rainfall since midnight** or **rainfall since 9 am**, which aligns with standard meteorological reporting used in Australia. This type of visualisation (similar to the rainfall tables used by the Bureau of Meteorology) would make the data far easier to interpret while still fitting naturally into a graph format. The underlying data appears to be there — it just needs to be presented in a clearer way.
Easy to setup
Easy to set up via wifi, Nice layout the colour picker, Would like to see more scene added to the app for more choices of scenes, Also having the options to allow the lighting to automatically turn on at sunset and turn off at sunrise. Otherwise this is a great app and great feature for the garden with lighting. Would recommend 100%
Doesn’t Work
The wireless watering system works fine on manual but does not start on the schedule which makes it a very expensive dud. Holmans customer support system is terrible (don’t even seem to have case numbers) and after nearly one month I still have no idea what I should try to fix it. Do not buy.
WX1TT
Been using this timer with moisture sensitive for 3 weeks. Automation works okay, however when moisture is above set limit, it still shows as watering when physically it is not as moisture in soil is above set limit. It would be great if status showed “not watering to schedule as moisture is above set limit” Also would be great if you can program misting in manual watering mode. Finally an option to stop scheduled watering by app after it has started.
Weather station
Very hard to read the amount of rain for the week in the app could be made a lot better
Frustrating at times
I only use the garden watering portion of the app and I love the app when it works but ….. trying to “go back” to previous screens after making a selection often requires closing the app and reopening it because it just won’t do it. I’ve had it on 2 different phones now and it’s always the same. Frustrating is my best description.
Apple Watch app
Hi there, it would be great if the weather station is added to list of devices for the Apple Watch app
Extremely unreliable
Every part of the sprinkler systems are unreliable excessive battery usage device is going off-line the hub going off-line and just not responding and not watering the garden when it’s supposed to. The software UI is unresponsive and very buggy.
Missing functionality
This app has only one issue that I can see missing. It needs the ability to create a scene for the misting function of the tap timer. It’s nice to be able to set a schedule but you can’t create a scene with the option to set misting intervals as you can in scheduled starts. Please add this capability!
Needs work
App deleted all devices as i was overseas so i couldn’t operate any of them, making this app and devices useless. Not good enough
Holman Home App
The devices work well but the App is very basic. The Home page is particularly uninspiring.
Best garden watering automation devices
I changed my router and as expected, things started to fall apart. Holman customer care helped me to find a solution to my problem! If I want to go overseas, or if I want to water my garden, I use Holman devices and they work like a dream!
Absolutely Horrible
I use the app for holman rgb lights I cannot understand how poorly the system and app has been designed that it needs constant connectivity to keep lights on even though i can confirm that the controller has strong connectivity the whole system is a disaster even opening and closing the app while a scene is running can cause the lights to switch off what a horrible horrible system. Seriously I would love to know who in their right mind thought the design was ok or was this the cheap solution? Do you even use it ?
Good app, but.
App works well with my Helios weather station, but for some reason Holman Home doesn't show up in my Location Services on my iPhone XR running the latest software. Consequently the location always shows me as living 200 km away from my actual location.
Doesn’t work on 5ghz wireless so already redundant
Returned water controller.
Location Location Locations
Since the app update I cannot set my location for various functions that use location such as weather in my area not 66 km away, please fix this problem
All sorted have sunset and sunrise feature
Awesome
Useless and a weather app
Totally unusable as a weather monitoring app. I am unable to see past weather trends with any accuracy. Daily totals reset each day at 9am and then I can’t see a numerical read out of the previous days rain fall total, I have to attempt to read it from a small line graph that make no sense at all.
Lacks automation options
The app itself isn’t bad. You can set 3 start times and select which zones need to be watered after the start. It will stagger them. What it seriously lacks is smarter automation. For example, I can’t seem to tell it to skip a day because it has been raining. I have to turn off the schedule completely. There is a beta feature to link it to live weather but it still can’t seem to actually stop it from running when it’s raining. Also not sure why it would be limited to 3 runs a day? The scenes are also not intuitive. A wider range of options that are more clearly explained is needed to be able to use this.
Ruined by updates
I am not enjoying the new updated app. The new layout has taken away the simplicity that made this app brilliant and easy to use. Watering manually using the preset stations is now harder. Also, each update wipes all the presets and you need to set them all over again. Bring back the old layout!
Automation system
I bought the Holman tap timer and soil moisture sensor thinking that I would be able to use it. Automation doesn’t work. I received the triggered message, watering doesn’t happen. I communicated to Holman technical team via and emails and direct phone, nil fixed. The staff spoke over phone was not knowledgeable about the products and he advised me to use schedule watering system instead of fixing the problem. Not happy at all. My rating is 1 out of 10.
Poor app
Need to reset all the time. Would be good if you could set it up and not have to reset every time the power goes out. Not sure if it’s worth it.
Good basic functionality, but improvement needed
Edit: thanks for the response Holman team, but please read my review again, you missed the mark - I don’t leave it running in the background, I do close it and re-open it every time I need to use it. It’s upon opening that it doesn’t refresh, it shows the next watering time as a date in the past, which is annoying that I have to wait longer than I should have to for it to update, I can’t even trigger a refresh manually (with the standard swiping function most decent apps have) - try again and update your app. ——— ——— ——— ——— Basic functionality exists to set schedule and turn on and off manually is ok. I like that I can see my usage last time it was run, which is helpful, but I’d like to see a trending feature that allows to see interruptions or flow changes, in the event of a leak for example. It also doesn't seem to update the next watering date/time until the app has been running for some time. I want to verify the next scheduled run time sooner than 5 mins after I open the app.
Needs development
Decent app, but the history information is just terrible. You can’t even see the daily summary of rainfall and have to add it up manually from the line graph. Terrible
Product great. App needs work
2 important Features to improve the app. 1. notifications when on and off 2. watering history to actually know if the tap turned on or not (this is a huge need for me when trying to operate remotely in various gardens). Without these features, remote operation is just guess and hope that your tap is working.
Good app needs some adjustments
Installed tap timers and hub to replace a useless expensive other brand. The tap timers work well but needs some additional features like start / stop notifications so I know the timers are working and calendar watering history rather than having to open the app every day to see if timer worked and water usage for the last setting.
There’s not enough bug spray on the planet to fix this
What an absolute joke; the hurdles and hoops that one needs to jump through to get this system working are incredible Junk, junk, junk!!!
Great but one disappointing flaw
The app UI and UX are great, and the functionality so far has been perfect, but why the WX is limited to only three schedules is dissatisfying. I don’t know why this is the case when it would be so easy to include a plus button and make it infinite. Because of this, I can’t schedule my four zones using a distribution, so it has less actual functionality than the old device I’m replacing it with. Hopefully, I’m missing something, and there is an option, or it can be added for a future release since this is a software issue rather than hardware. Apart from that one fundamental issue, the product is great.
App a little too basic
Disappointing that the app doesn’t have an interval setting for the tap timers so you will always have to either water 1 day more or have a 2 day gap. Also seems strange the the blue tooth tap timer gets a watering history but the wireless one has nothing so you just have to hope that it actually turned on and off. Also be good to receive notifications that the timers went on and off. In summary- device is good, the app is rubbish
Nothing connects
I have smart stuff elsewhere. This hub has never connected despite using the same wifi software as all the Chinese products. Threw it all away.
So handy but
Sitting in cairns and program the schedule for home in Perth. Check the security cameras to see if it ran the sprinklers but it didn’t. Not happy.
