Blossom - Smart Watering

I'll give it a 5. Does what I want. But always room for improvement. Tech team responsive. Update 3/21/17...still a five. Team very responsive. Very satisfied.

Really like this controller, just wish it could be run from my computer so I could have access to it while not at home.

Google home plans?

Looking great with the new software

Terrible app. No longer works on my LG G2 Pro, Android 4.4.2. So now the Blossom sprinkler controller is useless. I just bought an Orbit B-hyve which has dials & buttons as well as phone app. Learned my lesson. Don't waste your money on this device & crappy app.

Great app and system. Just wish they would now add Google Home.

Would​ be great if it didn't water the grass while it was raining!

So convenient and easy to program. I love how it responds to weather.

Great job on the update! Cpl comments and the app would be perfect for me, I would like the app to allow me to type the duration of the zone cycle instead (or along with) the slider, the slider time goes in increments of 3 min, if I typed the duration I have the exact time I want. Second comment is since the week is obv an odd # of days, please add an option to water "every 2 days, or "every 3 days" or "every other day" instead of just only repeated days.. thanks!

The additional feature I would really like to have is allow us to run multiple, user selected, zones simultaneously. This would allow me to better match water flow to my pump's performance curves for peak efficiency. It would also drastically reduce the overall watering time. Otherwise, this is a great product and app.

It's not quite as responsive to real-time rain info watering when it just rained. Needs switch to "deactivate" one or all zones rather than having to tell it not to water on any day of the week so I have to then manually undo. Also, needs to know type of turf so it takes that into account in calculating irrigation (e.g., #/week, dormant season, etc.) Improving... but still needs work. STILL NEEDS TO PROVIDE BETTER ACCESS TO INFORMATION... AND ACCESS THROUGH THE WEB.

Still no web app, and still have to have a separate Blossom account for every controller. Those two issues make it not user friendly.

The app used to lack a lot of information and they listened to us apparently and the app is now a lot more useful and user friendly.

I was an early adopter. I was actively shopping around for a replacement wifi controller due to the general lack of features and general apathy from Blossom. I have to say the new version is finally what I've been looking for. The back button FINALLY works and you can actually tell what your controller is doing. It was unfortunately a long time coming, but it really is worth it now!

This new version is a really awesome upgrade. I love the new layout this is so cool. Not sure why it didn't auto update as i run into it on accident. Keep up the great work blossom!!

Hats off to the developer's on this device, no easy task to process weather across this country, this most recent update addresses so many issues so it's great too see this just get better.

Great improvements. Love the watering now screen showing what is happening and low long each zone and cycler are.

I retract my previous comments as this new app version is way better.

New app and algorithm are a lot better! Love it.

Back button works! You get 5 stars when you don't water after it just rained

Controller looks nice, does what it's supposed to do. Love the new update. Good job Blossom, and did I mention support is fast in response!

"Smart watering does not work" and if the network connection is lost no watering occurs. Once a month last three months a call to technical support will be needed to reset the controller and re-connect it. Except for two cycles I had to water manually for the past 8 weeks. Will definitely save money on water because your sprinklers will not be running! Speaking of running, run away from this product as fast as you can!

Just got the controller and installed today. Looks nice, simple interface, but needs a lot more features. Weather accuracy is suspect, a simple override would be great, because rain, at least here, is highly local, rain in the area means my grass is dead. Maybe use weather radar as the data source. Short term, just let us swipe to ignore. Also, zones are very different, should have a few more options. Should access local watering restrictions and set base program from that.

Would like to see the "Run Sprinklers" function save the last settings instead of re-entering times for all of the zones you want to run next time. Will re-rate once done.

Needs to be updated!!

great controller, does the job right.

I have to do a dance to get connected before I can even start trying to figure out how it works.

SmartWatering works better but it's not running all my zones. In the plan but then doesn't execute one of the zones. Still needs to provide better access to information... and access through the web. Right now it's a dumb controller with a remote panel (my phone) to turn it off and on manually. App crashes on my Dell Venue tablet since the June '16 update.

Weather on the app is not always accurate. I have had several days of no rain and Blossom never watered the grass and I would need to run as a manual override. It would be nice to have some more nerd buttons. Like the ability to be asked if I want to override the blossom smart watering. Also, it would be nice to see what weather blossom. Is looking and let the user verify the accuracy of the weather location and actual weather that is currently happening.

Schedule and forget about it. Before this my grass was constantly dying but now i have a green lawn =)

Support is responsive when emailed

I still have to over ride smart watering... very disappointing after being an early adopter. The only redeeming feature is being able to interact from my phone.

Thank you so much for adding in soak cycles!! I'm in a heavy clay soil area and my first year using the blossom didnt help establish a deep root system. This will be great!!! Now if we could fix some if the ios-to-android port issues (like using the android back button) I'd say we are getting close to complete!

Pretty weak update. Can't believe that's what we've waited a year for. Have you guys read the comments section? SMH.

Soak cycle is much appreciated. Keep it up.

Just discovered I can't schedule multiple runs a day. However, phone support was very responsive to this need and assured me it's coming. Other than this, navigating in the app is a bit unintuitive. The fact the back button isn't used to actually go back in the app is pretty annoying.

I've been looking forward to a wifi sprinkler system for a long time. I had high hopes for the Blossom but thus far have been disappointed by the functionality of the app. It's spring and I'm trying to grow some new grass and run the sprinklers for a short period a few times a day, but this is not possible with the Blossom, only once a day. Huh? Also, it rained today and the smart watering did not pick up on it...but the app has no manual way to pause the sprinklers. I'm waiting for long overdue app update

I've been waiting for a year for updates. Nothing yet though I was told soon... Anyway, the app kicks you out of it constantly, citing that it cannot connect to the servers. It also lacks the ability to see how much water was applied to each zone. Instead it just says it ran between x and y time. On that note, it over-waters...bad. I have 8 zones, in MN, and there are days when it wants to run for hours. Like 3 hours later, it's only gone through a couple zones. So, I'd wager at this point I've lost money

Bought through kickstarter as it looked like a great concept. Last year it was buggy (running during rain, etc..), but I gave the benefit of the doubt to the new startup. Now that it's growing season again and no update in 9 months, I'm wondering how much longer this company will be supporting it. May look into the competition. Update is always "coming soon". Not convinced. Delay after delay and no clear input on what the update will do if it does ever come out.

I would like to see remaining watering time per zone than total remaining time. app needs a lot more development
