Poor performance. Flaky and unreliable. The app only talks to the Baccara irrigation controllers "sometimes" - and the Baccara bluetooth controllers fail after a year or so. Bluetooth connections keep stopping in the middle of an update. After spending $1200 on Baccara irrigation controllers 2 years ago, this system has performed so unreliablely that I am taking out the irrigation controllers and starting again with a Hunter system. Absolutely not recommended
Controllers have trouble connecting and disconnext themselves without warning. Software issues like firmware updates can stick controllers in something akin to a boot loop which renders them permanently disabled. UI is pretty terrible too. Seals on these controllers are sub par and glue between the housing and coil assembly can become unstuck just by trying to remove the unit from the solenoid.
Would be a great controller, but... App has a wierd logic. It is not possible to have a controller switched on and operate it manually without having any active watering plan. You MUST have an active plan to operate watering manually. Moreover, if You have an active plan (min operating time is 10sec) it is not possible to select for how long You would like to open the valve, instead it just takes the first watering duration from the plan automatically ... What a terrible logic...
There are few bags, you cannot delete a plan after created. Also tge connectivity keeps failing even if I'm less than one meter from the device. Once the developers from baccars fix this issues, this app will be perfect.
Sprinkler system app is lacking user friendly application. It doesn't have a login app so when you install the app on multiple devices and login, it doesn't show the initial setup from the first device. You have to setup each device manually. This method is not user friendly.
Complete rubbish, Bluetooth will not establish. Don't throw your money away on these controllers.
Very easy and friendly!
Working great, one of four i have has a glitch
Terrible app. Terrible equipment. Never works bought three of these and they have never worked right. Setup to water and they never water. Every time I open the app and open up a controller it updates the firmware every time. Junk junk junk. Stay away. I've had plants die because this app and subsequent controller are junk when I've left on a vacation for a week and set it to water the plants every day and it never did.
