To the manufacturer (unless someone has inside info): If and when will it be google assistant compatable? If coming soon, I would buy today.

Looked on the Orbit web site, discussion board - lots posted there about this subject: seems there is lots of frustration about Orbit not providing an ETA for google home/assistant compatibility. AND, again, according to Orbit's posts - they are not sure if google home compatibility will be a software upgrade or if WE WILL HAVE TO BUY A NEW 2ND GENERATION UNIT.

Can you connect a rain sensor to this device?

Yes, the timer supports a physical rain sensor in addition to the smart watering rain delays. The app does not currently recognize the physical rain sensor but the timer will work properly. Unplug the timer before connecting any external accessories including rain sensors.

Does this work with Samsung Smartthings?

Currently this does not. The only smart home system this works with is the Amazon Echo
