Gardena 1874 C2030 Duoplus Irrigation Programmer. With 2 different and independent outlets, you can water two different areas of the garden or balcony.
Automatic irrigation with time-saving
With the GARDENA automatic irrigation programmer, your garden is watered reliably and conveniently - even when you are away from home. You have more free time at your disposal, and your garden flourishes abundantly with beautiful, healthy plants. With automatic irrigation in the early morning or evening hours, less water evaporates. For cost savings and targeted, efficient watering.
Safe operation
The battery charge level indicator shows the battery's charge status. This way, you will know in advance when the battery needs to be replaced. This ensures the reliable operation of the water programming device.
Easy watering in two areas, e.g., lawn and flowerbed
What a person cannot do, the programmer can: split in half. With the press of a button, you can water, for example, the lawn in the front yard and the flowerbed in the back with different durations and frequencies of watering.
Very easy operation
The programmer's screen is detachable, the data is clear, and the programming steps are guided and straightforward.
Water-saving function
By connecting the GARDENA Moisture Meter or Rain Sensor, automatic irrigation is interrupted depending on soil moisture and rain. With the GARDENA Moisture Meter, irrigation can be based solely on the sensor.
More free time in the garden
Do you need time to relax or someone to water your garden when you are away on vacation? GARDENA water programming devices feature smart functionality for flexible, convenient, and reliable irrigation.

Gardena programmers last up to two years, as others correctly mention. The first one I bought broke in the middle of the summer season, and I returned it to the retailer while it was still under warranty, and they managed to fix it somehow. The second one broke immediately after the warranty expired, and it seemed like it was showing off its precision in programming, not in watering but in malfunctioning. I handed it over to someone in their network in another city (they didn't have a representative in Thessaloniki at that time - and now that they do, their service is still terrible) and they never fixed it, they didn't even respond with the cost. Luckily, the third one broke within normal time frames, meaning it lasted for a whole season after the warranty expired and then gave up. Don't even think about getting it serviced, taking it for them to think about it, examine it, and discuss it just to tell you that it costs as much as a new one. There seems to be a major problem, neither the product is worth it nor the service in terms of network/service/representation.
A cheap one that I bought for 20€ as a backup lasts for many more years and continues to work. That's why now that the third one broke, I will stay away from Gardena, they can't even withstand a single summer use.
Stay away from Gardena.
Unreliable.
After two years, everything breaks.
Either the screens or the electric valves.
Unfortunately, here it's not what we call "you get what you pay for."
After 2 years, during which it only worked during the summer months and in a protected environment, while externally it is in excellent condition, the programmer had a problem and the valves do not open. The dealership told me that because the problem is on the electronic board, the cost of repair or replacement is almost the same as the total price, so it is not worth it. On the other hand, because 1 week has passed since the warranty expired, they told me that they cannot accept to take on the cost.
