researching timers/controllers, I wanted one that had both a phone app and a fully functional It doesn't seem like there are many choices In this case, both are given. * Please note though that to utilize all of the features of this device, you need the wifi module and Rainbird Rain (and Temperature) Sensor. This WiFi module can be controlled using your phone, and it allows you to have the automatic season adjust feature, which will adjust watering times in accordance with the season (e. This is a common feature with timers), so if it rained yesterday, it will still water as if it hadn't. This is why I recommend the Rain Sensor, which turns off watering until drier conditions are present.
The built in panel is easy to operate and read in most lighting conditions and is quite intuitive. A reference card is also included for most frequently used features. In the past, I have walked miles to the timer mounted in the garage to adjust/replace sprinkler heads with the help of the phone app. Additionally, you can fine tune your system on the fly and view the status of your system. The system was installed in 2019 and I am still pleased with my decision, without regret.
I bought it to replace a 20 year old unit which had worked fine for 20 years, but the knob gear wore out and would not turn, and could neither be repaired nor I called around, but I found that some companies wanted $150 for the unit (this one was $100) and $300 to install it, what a scam! The cost of this unit was $350 cheaper if I bought it and installed it myself, which I was a little nervous about, but it didn't take long. It works great and I'm very pleased with it. Just one suggestion about the wiring for those who don't have electrical outlets Those who are professionals, such as myself. My main concern I had was messing up the colors and making sure I took a good picture of the area. So, I made thin labels to identify each zone that worked perfectly.
TM2 is having a lot of trouble connecting to my Pixel 3 phone! The process of downloading apps is straightforward. It must first connect the TM2 to the WiFi network and then pass it over. Tech support from Rain Bird has played a prominent role in that, but not everyone is able to do so. The cache of wireless IP addresses for my cell fell short of being refreshed, and that person avoided it. It took me over an hour on the phone to setup TM2 on my machine. It is not always the lucky path that is taken by users through their user menus. There is a pressing need to update this site. It is necessary to update the wireless controller itself so it can be paired more easily.
This is a huge upgrade over my Rain Bird 408 controller, which I have had for 17 years. I really like how easy it is to wire up and to install. On the wire leading from the old unit to the new unit, mark your zone numbers. This is a very easy program A few words about my ESP My 7 stations are powered by the TM2 model, which has 8 Only the 4 station and 12 station models are available at big box stores. There is also the option of using the wireless module on this model. There is a great deal of visibility for the display. Backup power is not provided by a battery.
Product arrived ahead of schedule. It only took me ten minutes to install my new Rain Bird after my old one stopped working after 23 years. Installation and programming are easy. When I was testing the zones, the display suddenly said, "Testing #*. " Turns out the valve for zone 4 had shorted (the valve had been in the ground for more than It did not short out my new unit, instead it told me of the fault. I managed to locate the faulty valve by tracing the wires. Thanks for the news, Rain Bird! I'm thinking of the wireless technology, but maybe not yet.
With the $100 irrigation unit and the $80 WiFi unit, you can easily water eight zones on your lot. There is no doubt that I would Water is saved Easily integrated with the iPhone and convenient to use.
Despite the complaints, only one can be found. To replace my old ESP, I installed this There was a problem with 8TM. The stations were installed and configured without any problems. In the next step, I ran a manual cycle for every station. It is the right arrow button that serves as the start button. There is a problem with the button because it doesn't start the cycle for all stations, but only moves to the next one. Despite the difficulty, the process works fine for single stations it does not work for all stations' manual cycles. Everything else functions great, so this is only a minor complaint. Definitely going to buy the rain sensor and the Wifi in the near.
According to the ad, the height is 6 feet. A 5 ft outlet is right next to me, so I thought I could plug in. Now I get to make my own cord at my own expense! I was pleasantly surprised. I was lucky to find out it had the option to be hard wired, so I'll run it on extension cord until the virus scare is over, and I'm able to go out and purchase a new cord. Wish people would pay attention to their advertisements more often.
