Sensor ControllerThe majority of gardeners prefer to water at sunrise or sunset. It’s the best time to minimise water evaporation and leaf scorch, but it is not always convenient to do it yourself at these times of the day.

Day light sensorThe Hozelock Sensor Controller takes care of this for you as it includes a day light sensor that automatically adjusts your watering schedule to start at sunrise and sunset, every day.

No need to programme ever again, it will automatically change the start times to coincide with sunrise and sunset as the seasons change.


Watering scheduleYou can select from 2, 5, 10, 20, 30 or 60 minutes and is easy to adjust in case you need to react to changing weather conditions, without ever having to refer back to the instruction book.


Water nowIf you need to dispense water outside of the automatic schedule you can use the Water Now button to turn on the water. Press once and the unit can be turned on for a 60 minute duration or simply press again to cancel the operation for shorter periods.


Easy to installThe Sensor Controller is easy to set up, simply insert 2 x AA batteries (not supplied) and select the required watering pattern from the dial. No complex programming skills required. It is supplied with a choice of 21 mm (1/2 inch BSP), 26.5 mm (¾ inch BSP) or 33.3 mm (1” BSP) adaptors for connection to most garden taps.

    Yes, this is what I use it for.

    Should ideally be watering early morning! Forget the evening!

    Agree with above. Basically, we only need to water the roots of plants instead of foliage and flowers etc., but it's highly likely to accidentally water on them, so watering in the morning gives the foliage etc. more time to dry out during the day.

    Learned from an orchid YouTuber.

    But honestly, my outdoor garden flowers are too cheap to take such good care (mostly just gladiolus in the summer), so I still water them after supper (a good alternative walking exercise to digest! )

    There are actually some that sense movement and trigger water to squirt in a rotational direction.

    I'm amazed they haven't made a smart one of these yet (to control through alexa, google home, IFTTT etc.)

    Could use a smart plug operating a motorised valve. I may try this actually (edited)

    After non use in winter they sieze up. A few sharp knocks releasing it it works. But, often continues to stick. I don't know if it can be wd40'ed

    Presume these only work if you leave the tap on permanently. Which I would presume which would lead to premature leaks given the washers are under constant pressure?

    You should ask the national water companies how they manage it.
