I Like It a Lot
I give it a 5. I bought this package and a Toro 8-Zone Ecxtra Controller separately. Initially, I had some problems with the software. It updated my controller, but it wouldn't run the schedule as I had indicated. Since then I've solved all the problems. Here is my take on all that:
The 'Schedule Advisor' software on the CD that comes with the TimePod may be out-of-date if it has been sitting on your retailer's shelf for a long time. My CD came with software version 1.0.48. It had a bug in it that kept the controller from turning on automatically. They are all the way up to version 1.0.60 at the time of this review. They fixed the above-mentioned bug in version 1.0.54, or 1.0.58, or one of those.
All versions "1.0.xx" are not compatible with Vista, BUT they have released a public beta that is. It is 1.1.8 [beta] as of this writing, with promises of more to come. [...]The online support folks will answer your specific questions there, too. [Edit: Amazon won't...

Excellent, software is the key and you need the latest
This product really is excellent. I read all the reviews that warned away from it and gave it a shot because I really hoped it would work. My experience went like this. The s/w worked on my vista machine, the program transferred, and then the timer only ran once. Hmmmm...I went back to the Exctra forum, downloaded the latest s/w, and now everything works perfectly. This is 200 times better than trying to program the timer the old/original way.
Does it's job well
This module and the software make programming a sprinkler system very easy. No more trying to remember which zone is getting watered when or for how long - it gives you a spreadsheet style weekly schedule, color coded by zone so you can see exactly what is going on. Amazon had the best price anywhere, it was shipped quick and easily set up. If you have a Toro Ecxtra irrigation timer this is a no-brainer - wish I'd bought it two years ago when my sprinklers went in. Thanks Amazon!
