Excellent choice

This is above and beyond what I was hoping for great for small to medium yards, programming seem rather easy and installation took a while to figure out

Great Upgrade to a Smart WiFi Sprinkler Timer

Would Recommend

I recently got this Rain Bird Irrigation Timer and I am happy with the upgrade. My old analog timer was original to the house, so I always had to go into the garage to test sprinklers or make changes. That was a hassle, especially when repairing the backyard sprinklers or out of town. Installation was simple. I photographed my old wiring and transferred everything to the same spots on this new ARC4 model. The terminals are clear, it has a wired-in power plug, and there’s even a spot for adding a...

Rainbird ARC-41

Would Recommend

I recently installed the Rain Bird ARC41 Smart Irrigation Controller and it’s been a solid upgrade from my old timer-based sprinkler controller. As a homeowner who likes to handle projects myself, I appreciated that the installation was straightforward. The wiring terminals are clearly labeled, and swapping the old controller out took less than 30 minutes. The smart features are what really make this unit stand out. Once connected to Wi-Fi, the mobile app lets you control watering schedules fro...

Great upgrade!!

Would Recommend

Installation was very easy, just took a picture of the wiring on my old controller and hooked the wires up the same way in the new Rain Bird. I'd say the toughest thing for me so far is navigating the app, but I'm getting a handle on that. Thing is, once the schedule is set, I don't really need to use the app unless I want to change the schedule or do extra watering. Overall, it tied into our network fine and the schedule set up was easy. Watching a few videos online for all of that definitely h...

App was a Billy fussy but straightforward system

Would Recommend

Great product. Easy to install. Easy to start the setup process but the app made things a bit more difficult than the rest of the entire process. I like the settings, timers, zones and all that fun stuff once I got it all looking good. I had a previous rain bird unit for 15 years and saw this as a nice upgrade.

Well built and easy to use

Would Recommend

This Rain Bird is simple to install, configure, and works well. I really enjoy having the ability to connect it to Wi-Fi and manage it from anywhere. The screw terminals, for the wiring, are great and hold securely. No need to hook the wires. The app works well, though it takes quite a while to configure. The package gives you a QR code to get the app, but it sends you to the old Rain Bird app. After installing that, it tells you to install 2.0. The 2.0 app works perfectly and I uninstalled the ...

Smart controller

Would Recommend

Nice four station smart irrigation controller that comes with power cord. Mounting controller to a wall requires tools 🧰. Your current system will have to be hooked up to the controller. You will need to download app to your phone 📱. Instructions are included and setup time can vary by experience and location.

Works great and easy to use.

Rain bird sprinkler system is really good and does it work pretty well. It is easy to install as per the instructions provided. The set up took time but steps were easy to follow.

Control your rain from afar

Would Recommend

We were looking to replace our controller and we picked one because it has all the new connectivity that we were looking for. Very easy to install with included hardware. The cover pops open easily for wiring and it is all quite simple to set-up. App works well for our use, with setting up schedules and saving water in our dry climate. We could easily connect to the Wi-fi and it just works. Don't have to be home to mess around with the settings and can easily adjust while traveling.

Easy Install. Awesome sprinkler controller

Would Recommend

This Rainbird controller will support up to 8 stations. It’s WiFi and you use the app to setup everything. Install was easy. There are two screws. One screw the controller hangs on and one screw to hold tight to the wall. You can control the zones manually or use the app. The instructions were easy to follow. When I powered up the controller, I followed the instructions in the app to setup each zone with start times and duration. The app and controller connected with no problems. There are so...

Very easy to install & set up WIFI sprinkler timer

Would Recommend

I have always wanted the capability of being able to adjust or turn on or off my sprinkler system remotely. I have an irrigation system that runs from a well so I need to be careful not to water needlessly. I replaced my existing Rainbird ESP-TM2 with the ARC 8. The ARC 8 has full WIFI functionality. The mounting and wiring were exactly the same. It took no more than 10 minutes to make the switch from the old unit to the new unit. The controller connected immediately to my WIFI and was abou...

The way to go for watering!

Would Recommend

I've used others and this was by far the easiest, most efficient way to program water stations and times. Managing all of this from the phone app makes it SO user friendly! With my old system, I had to stand outside at the faucet and try to get the zones and times all programmed...I hated that! I loved sitting in my recliner and getting it all set up!

This is a good product, but the app could be bette

the installation was pretty easy and directions were easy to follow. You need a few screws to install the box. Programming the box was easy through the mobile app. the app will allow you to create profile based on where you live and should adapt the watering schedule based on rainfall in the area. The one downside is it isn't always accurate with the weather, so sets rain delays when it doesn't rain. that doesn't happen all the time, but enough to have to run manually.
