Excellent!

I needed this to water veggies while on a 10 day trip. Flawless! I use all four channels for two underground systems, an overhead and a loose hose. Worked so well. I have a camera in the yard and could watch and verify functions, turning it on and off as weather demanded. Third season and still in love!

Melnor RainCloud

This app works on my MacBook Pro but won’t work on my iPhone 11. I called Apple and they were frustrated with the app Also. I contacted Melnor customer service and couldn’t solve the problem either.

Useless

The CEO of Melnor should be charged with fraud. The hub is unable to connect to their server much of the time. It crashes multiple times a day. Their server was down for an entire week not too long ago. This whole system is complete garbage. Customer support is unresponsive. This is nothing more than a very expensive manual valve.

Frustrating

Worked great the first time. Next use, so many problems with the valve unit consistently going off line. Shutting off when on manual mode mid water.

App and website not working

This is the second crash in less than a month. Totally unacceptable to not be able to control the device via the app or online. Of course, this is the most crucial time of the year for me with 95 temps in the forecast all week. I’ve tried to hang in but totally giving up that MELNOR will salvage this product and app. A real shame for such a major brand.
