  • Updated Sprinkler Controller
Style: Indoor Pattern Name: Timer
Previously had a RainMachine controller, but apparently the company has gone under. Found this Rainbird controller that operates in a similar manner and allows for control from the unit or from my phone. Works great, easy to install and setup. Happy to have the Rainbird product support.

  • TOUCHY WIFI SETTINGS, but a good system. Great SUPPORT.
Style: Indoor Pattern Name: Timer
GOOD: Rain Bird did a good job overall. The mechanical install of the unit was easy and I was replacing an older Hunter system that was terrible. BAD: This company uses a red/green indicator light, which is the worst thing they could do for about 10% of us colorblind people. But my wife helped out in that department. UGLY: The WiFi setup was terrible for me and may be for others. If not for spectacular personal technical support by Mehgan at RainBird, this could easily have been a one-star rating. She took the time to troubleshoot the bugs. It turned out the Android App needed to have permissions manually approved and set for both Storage and Location … your phone settings for the App itself. Also make sure your cache and data are cleared out if you had previous failed attempts to connect like I did. At first the device, only 20 ft from my wireless 2.4GHz router was saying weak signal … but then after clearing data and cache it suddenly was a strong signal. Then it connected just fine AFTER saying it didn't have internet, then it really did have internet. I think the software is immature and Rain Bird is having to work through it BOTTOM LINE: It is a good product, but the WiFi settings may be hit or miss for you. Fortunately Rain Bird is backing their product with excellent tech support. I can honestly rate it five stars. ... show more

  • Great replacement
Style: Indoor Pattern Name: Timer
I needed to replace my existing Rainbird controller. I chose this one because the existing one was reliable and easy to use. Plus it added WiFi to the feature set. It was an easy and quick swap out. The WiFi features are easy to use and I find that this was a great addition

  • Somewhat easy to install but ....
Style: Indoor Pattern Name: Timer
Installation: Followed the directions presented by the APP after download from the GooglePlay store. Installation was fairly straight forward. However the unit worked intermittently for about a week. Moved the router closer to the unit - still no improvement. I then un-installed then re-installed the controller from/to the software APP - working now without any problem. Now I can access the unit from anywhere anytime. Software APP: The software APP works as designed. It allows some basic customization of each individual zone for start time and duration. If needed it will automatically adjust the duration of the watering cycle for each zone which appears to be mainly calendar based (don't see much in the way of a predictive model here). Problem is the software is too basic. The only variable that is controlled by their (meaning RainBirds) weather model is watering duration. In reality the frequency should also be controlled. So for instance during spring you may need to water only twice per week then in summer switch to three times per week. For fall - back to twice per week and maybe disable a particular zone as well - like the flower beds since they're dead by this time anyhow. The software does not allow you to do this. My old controller had A, B and C programs allowing for this and you'd think that this would exist with what should be a much more powerful controller. Sure would like to see a new release of the software with these features included. However other than needing a little more flexibility in their software APP it is a nice controller overall. ... show more

  • Works Awesome For Me!
Style: Indoor Pattern Name: Timer
I found the installation replacement for my existing 20-year-old Rain Bird timer to be easy. Wiring was simple, directions are clear, and Wi-Fi connected immediately and has stayed connected since installation. The iPhone app is easy to use and very versatile. You can turn off entire system, turn on a single zone or combination, or have zones run in sequence. App offers weather, Wi-Fi strength of controller, rain sensor bypass, seasonal adjustment increases or decreases irrigation time by percentage. You can even upload a photo of the zone area and name the zone (i.e. Front Yard, Back Yard, Garden, etc.). App displays zone numbers with days of week it operates, on time, and actual run time if you use seasonal adjustment. In closing, technology is awesome! ... show more
