Bought this great little controller for our vegie patch, programs are awesome and it works a treat.
@TheSaltyreefer So that was the BTX1 , how would you say the App compares to traditional programming on an inbuilt screen? Classically even at the best of times, I have found units hard to programme, did the App make this more user friendly?
Could anyone use this App, with a general knowledge of phones? It looks relatively simple from pics.
Hi Mate
@MitchellM
The App and unit is so simple to use its not funny. the unit hooks up to the tap in a matter of seconds, download the App 2 minutes
turn on bluetooth find unit, add unit, set times, needed so so soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo easy a 1 yr old child could master it within minutes 🙂
set and forget
@TheSaltyreefer Sounds like the bee knees! I have a (for my standard) very expensive Valencia orange I purchased a couple of months ago. Depending on my works hours I can be out all day, I'm worried during summer it may get scorched in the midday heat if not watered. I think I may splash out on one of these if they are so simple. Cheers mate!
I will be returning the btx1 today. Every time you try to conect to it i have to hard reset it and it wont stay conected longanuff to program and carnt even use the manual function. Big thumbs down from me

Great video !!!! Love your Edible patch 😊
Does this unit also report how much water is/has been used?Is it compatible with automation software like Home Assistant?
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @ishcar. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about the BTX1 smart valve.
So sorry for the delay in my reply.
The unit reviewed here is the older style and what you're more likely looking for is the Holman WX1 Tap Timer. It allows you to have up to three start times with individual day selection, create custom water schedules or select from misting, manual or automation watering options, but most importantly, track water flow and water usage. The timer is operated through the proprietary software Holman Home App.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Mitchell
