About RAINPOINT
RAINPOINT is a Chinese brand specialising in smart irrigation timers and controllers at entry-level prices. Born in Shenzhen in 2015, the company built its reputation on AliExpress by offering products with good build quality at a fraction of the cost of Western brands.
RAINPOINT Wi-Fi timers support remote programming via the app, integration with Alexa and Google Home, and offer features such as automatic suspension in case of rain. They are particularly suitable for terraces, vegetable gardens and small gardens where a complex multi-zone system is not needed.
For those wanting to start with smart irrigation without a significant investment, RAINPOINT is a great starting point. Ease of installation and the intuitive app make it suitable even for people without technical experience.
One trait that sets RAINPOINT apart from other entry-level Chinese brands (such as Moes or Inkbird) is its wider catalogue of home weather products: beyond irrigation timers, the company also makes personal weather stations and smart rain gauges, all managed from the same app. For anyone who wants automatic irrigation suspension tied to rainfall actually measured in their own garden, rather than the generic forecast on their phone, that's a concrete advantage over competitors that stay within timers alone.
