With its intuitive simplicity, the Skydrop Halo Smart Watering Sprinkler Controller takes the guesswork out of watering. You can also monitor or adjust at any time from your smartphone, tablet or computer. Save water, time, and money with Skydrop.

Review: Beautiful Industrial design - Beautiful Industrial design, better documentation would make it as good as it gets. Documentation is limited and leaves a lot to be desired. It only works if you know to click on a small check buried among alphabetic characters on only some screens. The installation instructions are clear, simple and well done. However, one critical piece of information is missing. It's not mentioned ANYWHERE!! You must highlight and click on a check mark when entering zone names or the WiFi password. This check mark only appears on some of the screen options when entering alphanumeric characters for naming zones or passwords. Additionally, the highlight is difficult to see unless you're at or below the plane of the screen. The characters are small but visible. Once I figured out that the check indicates the name or password is complete, everything worked flawlessly. Connecting it to my cell phone was a breeze. The phone graphics are beautiful and you can control everything easily and intuitively. Only time will tell how effective it is at saving water by accurately predicting rainfall at my house, not the weather station. A weather resistant cabinet is required for outside mounting. The cabinet is manufactured by Orbit. The model number is 57095. It has an internal GFI receptacle so mounting the Skydrop inside is very simple. You will have to drill mounting holes in the internal mounting plate, but that's a simple job that can easily be done by the installers or anyone who can use a drill. Cudo's to the designers and shame on the documentation people for making a simple installation unnecessarily frustrating.
Review: What's to like? A month of frustration. - What's to like? A month of frustration. I bought the SkyDrop system as well as the expansion module but returned them within the first 30 days as the system never worked correctly. 1) Control and User Interface: Let's start with the controller. What's the point of the fancy space-age design with the cool display screen and sexy glowing control dial? This controller is essentially an industrial device that will be installed in some utility room or closet and never looked at after installation since you will be using the app or a computer to control it. This does not negatively affect the device's operation. It's just weird. The app was easy to use and intuitive but the app would frequently lose contact with the device and then nothing would work. The app would often say that it lost the WiFi connection with the device, even though the device screen reflected that it was connected via WiFi with good signal strength. Often I could get the controller to work only via my laptop computer via WiFi, but not the app connected through the same WiFi. 2) Installation: The installation was very easy as advertised, but the device could never recognize one of my connected irrigation zones. The zone worked perfectly and could be activated manually through the device but the device would not recognize it to control it automatically. The expansion module (to increase zone capacity to 16 zones) also was easy to install. 3) Customer Service: I called customer service and was told to perform a factory reset on the controller, but this action essentially killed the controller. Customer service agreed to send me a replacement for the defective controller, but refused to sent the replacement via overnight shipment as that was "against company policy" according to the customer service supervisor. 4) Replacement controller: I received a replacement controller, but the controller was apparently an older reconditioned SkyDrop model instead of the newer version SkyDrop Plus module that I was trying to replace (It says "SkyDrop Plus" on the face of the controller). The replacement controller would not allow the expansion module to work at all but as I was going on vacation soon and needed something to water my plants, I used it with just the eight zones. 5) Timer programming: I programmed the device to water my plants each morning (easy to program) using manual programming rather than allow the device to automatically water based on the weather, etc. Each morning the system would send me an e-mail letting me know that the system had watered my zones as programmed. The app also reflected that the zones were watered every day at the programmed time. The problem is that the device never actually watered anything at all! It would tell me that it did so, but never did anything. It did allow me to manually request watering of each zone for whatever amount of time I wanted. It just would not allow this to happen with the timer. Each day, I would request through the app manual watering one zone at a time and this would work fine. 6) In complete frustration, I returned the system for a full refund within the 30 day return period. 7) Recommendation: Buy anything except the SkyDrop and you'll be happy. I bought the Rachio system and am completely happy with it. It works correctly all the time! It's made in the USA and was easy to install. The app is simple to use. It waters my plants perfectly every day and never fails. The Rain Machine also gets great reviews but I have not tried that system.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can the Skydrop SDCRW1.0 Smart Watering Sprinkler Controller be mounted outside?**
A: Yes it can. To mount it outdoors you need a water proof timer box. The Orbit Timer Box, model 57095 is a perfect fit.

**Q: Is there a service subscription required to access the controller over the web?**
A: Yes. There is a subscription. From an email they just sent out:  

“Beginning in the first part of June 2019, you will see some changes to Skydrop Web and Skydrop Mobile. These changes will include a limit to the functionality to manage and monitor your Skydrop Controller. You will still be able to see very basic information about your controller but changing the watering restrictions, watering schedule, adjusting zones and running zones manually will be disabled. Within Skydrop Mobile, you will see an option to upgrade to Skydrop Plus. Skydrop Plus includes not only the functionality to manage your controller, but also advanced reporting, more precise weather data, enhanced notifications, and more.

Subscription will cost $1.99/month (USD) or $17.99/year (USD) and will be billed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. If when prompted to upgrade to Skydrop Plus, you see a higher price, please ensure you have the latest version of Skydrop Mobile.“

**Q: Can this handle cycle and soak, e.g. Watering the same zone twice in he same cycle?**
A: Yes it can. You can manually set up a cycle and soak watering for any zones. Also, if you go through the set up with certain conditions (for example a steep slope) it will automatically activate the cycle/soak function. Hopefully that helps.

**Q: What if it detects possible rain but it doesn't rain?  Does it wait until next scheduled time?  Can you block out days to run to allow for mowing day?**
A: When smart watering option is activated in the setup, it will turn on the sprinklers at a reduced rate and return to saved setting on the next scheduled time.  Yes, you can program to block out days or time (some city ordinance may require not to water on certain time).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really disappointed with this product
*by P***Z on February 27, 2015*

Really disappointed with this product. The quality isn't what I was expecting. The jog ring doesn't feel smooth when you twist it. The enclosure has that cheap plastic feel instead of something more solid. The LCD screen is NOT touch (not a big deal) and it has poor visibility if you're looking at it straight on (big deal). You need to mount it a little higher than eye-level to see it clearly. It's also not the higher resolution type that you find in the nest thermostat. The setup is easy, web interface is nice, and packaging is impressive. Reason I'm going to return this is that the devices keeps losing connection to the cloud service. It's connected wirelessly just fine, but just can't seem to get to the cloud service. I would have to re-setup the network settings each time and sometimes it'll work, sometimes it doesn't. Very frustrating and unreliable. Still too many rough edges with this product... I will be looking at getting a RainMachine next and see if it fairs any better. 4/21/2016 Update Just to give you guys a quick update. I've contacted Skydrop and after a firmware update, my wireless problem went away. The iphone app has been improving ever since I've gotten it and it's pretty extensive at this point. I don't interface with the hardware as much and most of what I do is through the app since it's so much more convenient. All in all, I'm pretty with happy with it so far as it matures.
