What customers say
Initial enthusiasm for the Asante irrigation kit centered on smart control and water conservation via a smartphone app. However, customer satisfaction quickly declined due to severe reliability issues stemming from its mandatory cloud infrastructure. Feedback frequently cited frustrating setup, persistent Wi-Fi disconnections, and instability of the required cloud service. This dependency proved critical; when the proprietary platform lacked support or was discontinued, the controller became unusable or a costly static device. While physical installation was manageable, the poor software longevity and lack of reliable connectivity drastically reduced the product's long-term value and failed to deliver on its smart home promise.
