Poor choice
Clunky, non-intuitive, difficult to add multiple devices frequent data dropout. Wish I hadn’t bought it.
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.

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.
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.
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.
