WLAN | LKWIF

i want to replace/swap a defective Link wifi module which is still covered under 3 years warranty. Can you tell me how long the warranty is? During the month of February, 2020, I purchased it from Amazon. ?

Our sales department will be able to assist you if you have a manufacture warranty issue. You will probably need to send this to us for evaluation. I thank you for your irrigation -

Is it possible to use this module to know if it is raining outside based solely on online weather information instead of ?

You will be able to acquire weather information from your local weather station or airport and you will be able to adjust your schedule based on this information. In the case of a local rainfall event, a direct rain sensor is still required before the system is shut down. There is no guarantee that it will rain at your house just because it's raining at your weather station. *br>Thank you for using the WiFi Rain Bird app. It is predictive and the rain sensor is reactive.

Installation and operation are easy to handle There were no communication problems at all
4/5

The setup is As much as I wanted to buy this thing 83 bucks (Oct 2019), I was almost scared away by the reviews. It is essential that you get a strong signal at the controller, which can easily be verified by clicking on the Settings button. If you are standing next to the controller, turn on the WiFi feature on your cell phone. Still, the reviews concerned me even though I had shown a strong signal. Check out item 2 of the list. When you check, make sure that you are on the 4 ghz side of your router. . . this device is not compatible with 5 ghz. After reading the reviews, I took the plunge and ordered one. In less than 20 hours, it had arrived at my doorstep. This is not what I expected. I thought I'd spend the rest of the evening figuring out router and communications issues. As soon as I downloaded the app, it worked instantly. I have since thoroughly tested its functionality. The app is loaded on multiple devices as well. Here is how to do it (see my answers to the questions section). Exactly what I needed. The ease of plugging and playing this has to be the best I have It took less than five minutes for the whole process to be completed. Here are some instructions and tips for setting up your computer 1 .
There is no superman signal required, but you do have to get a good signal (no lower than 70 db). 3.
The antenna on this device will not reach four houses down. You have to realize that this is a very small device. The third part. Make sure your cell phone can get a signal at the controller before you buy one. It will let you determine if you require a booster etc. That way, you can make the necessary changes and avoid any unnecessary costs.
4. Make sure you have the app downloaded on your device before beginning any other task. This is 5. Place the module in the back of the panel, in the accessory port. don't need to shut anything off to perform this task. The sixth point. I connected it to my computer, and it immediately began blinking red and green (what you want) After plugging it in, the hotspot module was up and broadcasting. I did not have to press anything on the module to make it do this, it was instant. You can either press the hotspot button on the device or unplug and plug it back in again if you don't get the alternating red blue and green lights within 30 seconds. "* B .

To complete the configuration process, launch the RAINBIRD app on your device and follow the setup wizard. A review of Among the pros are I installed the software without any problems. There is a way to add multiple devices with the addition of the guest access feature (you won't have to repeat the above steps for each additional device). My favorite feature of Guess Access is that it doesn't reveal your password to others and that the access expires after 24 hours and 48 hours. When you are away from home, this is very convenient for your neighbor or serviceman. Create a Personal Account in which you can add your own devices and use them on your own. When used with a rain sensor and the internet weather information from your zip code, the EPA watersense (for use with rain sensors) is an excellent way to save money if you want. It will be used when my lawn has established a bit more, but for now I have it off and use my rain sensor to determine whether I should water. It is in the Seasonal Adjust option of this app where the more significant power savings can be found. Every time you access the app, the configuration that is currently stored on the controller is downloaded to the app. By eliminating syncing issues between multiple devices, you can use more than one device at a time. This is a very useful It is a good controller for override and manual control, for programming, and for remote control almost to its fullest. I'm glad I did It can be operated and programmed anywhere on the planet. The cons are 1 *br By using a remote control, you cannot turn the controller on and off. Watering can be stopped, programming can be changed and even a program can be wiped out if you wish. 3.
It seems that I have set the notifications for every option but never receive notifications, neither on my device nor via email. The third part. Based on internet chatter, there is little chance the company will update the firmware with new features, which you may find to be a blessing or a curse, depending on your preferences. The fourth paragraph. I just paid 83 dollars for it. Yet it works and will pay for itself if you allow it to use proper water management for your needs. This is 5. While I did not encounter any connectivity problems myself, the small antenna does require a reliable moderate to strong signal (can tolerate up to around *70 db). The recommendation is You may purchase remote capability if you want to or need to. It's a waste of money to buy any expensive item if you don't need it, it will take up space in your home and you won't As far as temporary access, the rain sensor is great for tracking whether it has rained today (ideal for my service tech) and giving temporary access to my family. When there is an issue, it's comforting to know that I can close or stop any program remotely. In addition, if the pest guy or lawn mower guy shows up, I can shut off the sprinklers from anywhere in the house. My favorite cruise is the one where the food is great!.

In theory, this device looks great, but it is too buggy to use in practice
3/5

My builder already installed a rainbird, so rather than buying another setup, I thought I could just "upgrade" with this device. In practice, it is useless. This device will not connect to WiFi even while other devices do not have any issues and the router in the next room is not in danger. I even had to place a signal booster in the garage, because the signal would drop. What is even worse is you have to set it up again every time This was a two star review only due to the ease of returning the item. In this age and age, Rain Bird needs to realize that the majority of consumers buying these things are pretty tech savvy and will not accept things like dropped signals if a cheap and reliable fix could be found. There is no point in buying from one brand when they can buy from another.

Upgraded to the new version
4/5

The rain bird and rain sensor are both better off with this accessory. The rain bird can be easily set and programmed with it. It also works great in my area of Florida because of the season adjustment mechanism. I have encountered a problem with it disconnecting from WiFi sometimes due to an insufficient signal which is happening because my router is inside and the module unit is outside. Also, at first it was difficult for it to find a signal to sync with the router. The app has the same details as some others, but it does its job. I fixed it by simply trying again, and on my third attempt the app found it and I could connect. Tips you should install a rain sensor first so you can take advantage of smart watering to the fullest. You should also research water tips in your area and what the maximum period of watering time should be. You need to make sure that all of your rain sensors are set correctly. Make sure you get a good WiFi signal by testing the signal with your cellphone. It is likely that certain bands have to be closer to the unit in order to work. If you already own the Rainbird esp and the appropriate rain sensor, this link WiFi unit only makes sense if you already have it. Consider looking at the competition and comparing prices when you're deciding whether to buy a new unit. I find that the weather data in the app is accurate for the area in which I live,.

Don't do it! The question of "easiness to use" and the question of "value for money" could not be answered
3/5

There is no connection. I should listen to what other users have said. An excellent signal strength was detected. The goal was to make it work. I wanted it so bad. That half day I wasted would be nice to get back. contact customer service for help (think, ok, they'll walk me through this) only to hear a recording stating that there is no one available to answer the phone. You cannot even leave a message and be assured that someone will get back to you as soon as possible. When you call back, you will hear a recording telling you to call again. My phone went dead when I kept calling back and getting the same message over and over again. No wonder they won't take my You know I can't fix your problem, so I'm not likely to fix your problem either. However, the first thing that appears on the screen is "If this is about the wifi module, press 3. " Do you think this means they are inundated with complaints The answer is yes, I'd say. This place has one for sure! I will have to pay $85. If I can't get my money back, then it is a loss. I have learned $100 worth of lessons. Be sure not to repeat the same error.

4/5

The review was well written. I followed the review's steps closely. This is THE best to follow and read. It took me no longer than 15 minutes to get up and running.
There may be some bugs with the device. During the installation process, be patient. To make sure your model is compatible, you must have your home internet password handy, and you must pick your WiFi There is no 5 there is only 4. The most important thing is to follow directions - it's not that hard! It can also be used as a hot spot via your phone when you are home, but only when you are.
