i think i understand that only 1 phone can control the sprinkler  
if this is true then i likely will have to return since my wife also wants to control the sprinker system

Don’t need to return it.  
Go to the app and find a section when you can invite others. It’s under Me - Home Management section - (your home) then add member.

You even give them admin permissions if you like!

Cheers

So she installed the app on her phone right? Once accepted should be fine after she load the home (yours) . Not sure about iPad, I think it would be sideways as just for iPhone I think.
