How the hell does the timer work when your Bluetooth is out of range. Eg at work
Hi Doc,
Sorry to hear that you're having some issues! You might be better suited to our WiFi range of tap timers as you are able to operate them while you're at work or anywhere you are using WiFi, whereas for our Bluetooth tap timers, you must be within a 20m range of the system.
Hope this helps!

Like the other reviewers, this worked fine for the summer season. I did the right thing by removing the batteries and storing for the winter. Now it won't talk to my phone or show any indicator lights. Holman needs to sort itself out or it will have no customers pretty soon at this rate
User guide not the best does not say when you save and update as it does not seem to work. Am using odd days for zone one and 7 days for zone 2. 3 and 4 will use manual.
Hi Dallan, we're sorry to hear your tap timer programming not working as promised, please get in touch with our Customer Service Team at support@holmanindustries.com.au and they will be happy to help with scheduling questions and any additional troubleshooting. Thank you, Holman Team.
Product seems to be working OK but instruction book needs up dating No instruction on unit itself regarding to run or off switch
Listen to all the other reviews. This is not a good quality product. Our BX4 died after 3 months and almost took our garden with it.
Can't be bothered going into all the details for why this was such a waste of money. I've since bought an Orbit 4 Station unit and the difference in quality is astonishing. Do not waste your time with this BX4 product.
The Bluetooth failed. The system leaked. I needed to go through a laborious process removing batteries and pairing my phone every single time I wanted to program the system with any change.
I bought it from Bunnings and paid the price for shopping based on convenience. Will never buy a Holman Industries product again.
Thank you for sharing your experience with our BX4 system, and we're truly sorry to hear that it did not meet your expectations. Your feedback is crucial to us as we strive to improve our products. We understand your frustration with the Bluetooth and leaking issues, and we apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. If you need further support or feedback. Please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Service Team at support@holmanindustries.com.au. Thank you, your Holman Team.
I am on my 3rd 4 outlet unit in under 3 years. Unfortunately, I haven’t kept receipts to verify my purchases. All the units worked beautifully for the first few months. They were just what I wanted. Then, around a year mark, stopped turning on automatically and eventually even manual setting didn’t work, valves wouldn’t open. On my second unit, only one valve opened when using manually when I gave up on it. And this occurred when we were away on vacation. My last unit pictured is not working automatically now, just manually. Cannot recommend them for the long term.
I must admit that after reading the reviews I was somewhat sceptical, however common products in the past and never really had too many issues.
I cannot talk on the construction or longevity of the product as I've only just purchased it, however as an old tech head I found reading the instructions carefully I had no issues programming the precise patterns that I wanted. The only issue I could find was that I could not turn off starts/synced function once activated. Not really a big issue but a small glitch in the matrix.
Excluding longevity and construction this device seems perfect for my needs and I would recommend it.
Already had one replaced. The second one is as inconsistent as the first. The hardware is poor, and the software worse, and the unit can only be paired with one mobile. Out of warranty, I'm planning on removing it and smashing it so that I get at least a little satisfaction from it!
I’ve had two of the BX4 timers and after a year of owning them both had the issue of displaying a solid red LED which should mean low batteries. I tried 3 different sets of batteries, even buying more brand new ones just in case of a bad batch. Unfortunately the red LED persisted.
I really loved the product while it works because it has Bluetooth and the app is great with more settings than most other systems out there.
Bunnings had an issue with exchanging them because they were more than a year old so just be warned. Hopefully you’ll have better luck than me but no more for me.
Had this in for over a year
Use it a 4 station control for my lawn
Very happy
