DEWENWILS Pool Pump Timer, Outdoor Wi-Fi Box, Heavy Duty 40A 120-277 VAC 2HP Wireless Controller Timer, Water Heater, Compatible with Smart Phone, Alexa, Google Assistant, UL Listed

Oh so nice. We had a professional install it and it works perfectly! I love being able to turn on and off no matter where u are or set up a schedule for it to run

I have had this "timer" for over a year. I bought it to replace a mechanical timer for my pool pump so I could adjust the time setting easily and remotely. I have been disappointed since installation, and have had to use work-arounds to even run my pool pump.Initial app installation and connection horrible. I couldn't get the device to connect. Once it did, I was able to set a timing cycle. The timing cycle worked, however, I could never access the device through the app again, so I couldn't adjust the timing cycle. If I wanted to start the pump any earlier than my initial setting, I would have to do so manually with the button on the timer box.I have reset the timer several times, uninstalled the app and reinstalled several times. If I connect directly to the timer wifi, I can turn it on and off. However, I cannot connect through the home network or remotely. I have to be in range of the timer wifi signal, which defeats the purpose of having this in the first place. Since resetting (multiple times) the timer schedule does not work. It doesn't matter when it is set to run, it simply will not. I have been back and forth with tech support (giving them credit for being responsive) and it is the same process suggested over and over again. Uninstall the app, reinstall, reset the timer, etc.Long story short, the app/control of the timer is inadequate/junk. Essentially, I have a manual switch for my pool pump. I should have kept a mechanical timer and never purchased this device.I highly recommend choosing a different product, whether it is a mechanical timer or a higher end controllable timer (like this SHOULD be). Save your time, money, and the headache. Avoid this product.I will give them credit for being responsive to inquiries, however, the solutions don't work and are essentially a repeat of the setup instructions.

WiFi controlled unit works perfectly for my 220 volt roof top ice melt system and can be activated/deactivated from within the house or from anywhere with good cellular data or WiFi service! Excellent value for the money.

For timing a pool pump or hot water heater this arguably the best unit on the market, especially for the money. It has a lot of functionality and flexibility and is weatherproof thanks to it being enclosed in a metal box that can be tightly shut.. The hardware is extremely simple, having just two buttons, a power button for manually powering on or off the device hooked up to it, and a reset button. It can power/time any device requiring from 120 volts to 277 volts. Setting schedules is done through an app. The app is NOT intuitive and takes a little getting used to, but it DOES work -- things are not obvious. For example, the first step in setting any start and stop time is to "Choose Timer" among a list different "timers" ("Programmable Timer", "Countdown timer", "Astronomic Timer", "Holiday Random", and "Security Random"). The user isn't really choosing a timer but rather choosing what type of timing they want to program, like an on-off schedule, a countdown ... I suspect English is not the first language of the app's designer (note the "random" choices are likely here if the timer is powering lights).Another nice feature -- the app will talk to the device over LOCAL Wifi OR the cloud. The user has the option to create an account and control the device across the Internet, but using their cloud feature is not required as you can simply control the device using the app locally, so long as your phone or tablet is on the same network as the device.

I installed this pool pump timer last summer after a different timer failed after only one season. This timer has been rock solid for 1 year next month. The app was a little confusing at first but I figured it out quickly. I can control the pump and make changes to the schedule from anywhere. I will update this review after another season.

Easily connect to wifi network and create an account. Create a schedule of operation with ability to program 10 different times to operate. Works great on a 4500 and 5500 watt water heaters. Ground lug needs to be redesigned to support 10 awg wiring.
