The Eve Aqua Smart Water Controller Lets You Water Your Garden From Your Phone
"I had an issue getting a great seal on the spigot side of the Aqua, even with pliers. The location of the handle made it impossible to squeeze a tool in to tighten up the connection, which meant that, ultimately, I was never able to avoid some level of water leakage from this area."
"Eve's iOS app is a surprisingly convoluted piece of software that may frustrate even seasoned smart-home enthusiasts. A complex collection of scenes, timers, and rules determines how your watering schedule operates."
"Configuring a simple on/off timer feels like a logic puzzle on this app. The interface is too busy, with too much unnecessary information crowding each screen."
Installing the Aqua device can be challenging, particularly in achieving a good seal on the spigot side, leading to water leakage. The lower connection to the hose is easier to seal. The Aqua can connect to a 2.4-GHz Wi-Fi network via the Eve app or Apple's iOS Home app. While the Eve app allows for advanced operations, it is convoluted and may frustrate users with its complex interface and busy screens, making simple tasks feel overly complicated.
