Two devices, one connected garden. The YL-21179 screws onto your tap and becomes a smart watering station; the YL-21180 router brings it online so you can schedule, trigger and check it from anywhere with internet. On their own each is useful — together they remove Bluetooth-range limits entirely.

The Set, and How It Works Together

Think of the kit as two halves of one system:

• YL-21179 (the timer): The part on the tap. It opens and closes the water, runs Spray and Mist programs, and talks to your phone over Bluetooth or WiFi.
• YL-21180 (the router): The part on your shelf. Plugged into USB power near your home WiFi, it keeps the timer connected to the internet so remote control actually reaches the garden.

Without the router, the timer is limited to Bluetooth range — fine for the back door, awkward for a tap at the far end of the yard or for watering while you travel. With the router added, the same timer answers from the office, the airport, or your holiday hotel. That is the whole point of selling them as a set.

Part 1 — YL-21179: The Smart Tap Timer

Why It Is the Smart Choice

• Control From Anywhere: Once the router links it to WiFi, set and adjust schedules from the Tuya app on iOS or Android — no trips to the tap.
• Bluetooth for Instant Setup: Connect by Bluetooth first for fast, password-free pairing, then join your WiFi for full remote access.
• Two Watering Modes: Spray mode covers Duration, Cycle, Start, Rain delay and Manual; Mist mode gives gentle, frequent misting for seedlings and humidity lovers.
• Scheduling That Thinks: Set irrigation duration, start time and frequency, plus a rain-delay and a no-irrigation window so plants rest when they should.
• Water Now, Anytime: Press the button on the device or tap "Water Now" in the app for instant manual watering — press again to stop.
• See Your Savings: The app tracks irrigation data and usage statistics, so you can fine-tune and actually watch the water add up.

Built for the Tap

• Standard Fit: A 3/4" (G3/4, 26.5 mm) tap thread fits common garden taps — screw on and go.
• Battery Powered: Runs on 2 × AA alkaline batteries (not included) — no mains wiring at the tap.
• Button Still Works: A physical button gives manual "Water Now" even if your phone is across the house.

Perfect For

• Smart-home gardeners who want control from their phone
• Frequent travellers who need reliable remote watering
• Seedlings and greenhouses that benefit from Mist mode
• Anyone who wants watering data, not just a timer

Part 2 — YL-21180: The WiFi Router / Hub

Why You Want the Router

• Real Remote Control: It connects your smart water timer to the internet, so schedules and manual watering work from anywhere, not just within Bluetooth range.
• One-Touch Manual: A physical ON/OFF button lets you trigger instant manual watering remotely — handy when the app is not to hand.
• Simple Power: Runs on Type-C, DC 5V — plug it into a phone charger, power bank, or USB outlet near your router.
• Pairs With Your Timer: Designed to work with the YL-21179 tap timer, extending its reach across the home and garden.
• Set-and-Forget: Once linked, it just sits quietly keeping your timer online, season after season.

How It Fits In

• Place It: Set the router near your home WiFi and power it via the Type-C port (DC 5V).
• Pair It: Link it with your YL-21179 smart tap timer through the Tuya app.
• Go Remote: Control schedules and trigger manual watering from the app wherever you have signal.

Perfect For

• Anyone whose tap is out of easy Bluetooth range from the house
• Frequent travellers who need dependable remote watering
• Larger gardens where the timer sits far from the WiFi source
• Smart-home setups that should "just work" from anywhere

Heads-Up — Before You Buy

This kit is app-driven: a phone with the free Tuya app is part of the experience, and the timer takes 2 × AA alkaline batteries (not included). The YL-21180 router is a companion hub, not a timer on its own — it only adds online range to a compatible timer like the YL-21179, which is exactly what this set pairs it with. The router needs a power source (Type-C, DC 5V); a charger or USB outlet is not included.

Good to know: long-press a scheduled program in the app to delete it. The Rain Delay button postpones the next start; the No-Irrigation setting blocks watering for a set period. Keep the timer's batteries fresh for reliable WiFi and valve operation, and keep the router plugged in to stay online.

Questions Buyers Ask

Q: Do I need the internet to use the kit?

A: For on-site setup and manual use, Bluetooth and the device button work without internet. For remote control from anywhere, keep the YL-21180 router powered and linked — that is what brings the timer online.

Q: Which app do I use?

A: The free Tuya app, available for both iOS and Android. It handles pairing, scheduling, rain delay, the router link, and statistics.

Q: What is Mist mode for?

A: Mist mode gives light, frequent misting — ideal for seedlings, cuttings, and plants that like higher humidity.

Q: Can I still water by hand?

A: Yes. Press the button on the timer, or tap "Water Now" in the app, and press again to stop. The router also has a physical ON/OFF button for remote manual watering.

Q: Will the timer fit my tap?

A: Yes — it screws onto a standard 3/4" (G3/4, 26.5 mm) garden tap.

Q: What batteries and power does the kit need?

A: The timer takes 2 × AA alkaline cells (not included). The router runs on Type-C at DC 5V — plug into a USB charger or outlet (cable/charger not included).

Q: Does the router work on its own?

A: No. The YL-21180 is a companion hub that brings a compatible WiFi timer online. In this set it is paired with the YL-21179; without a timer it has nothing to control.

Q: How do I track water use?

A: Open Statistics in the Tuya app to review irrigation history and usage reports.
