Reliable and user friendly.
Would RecommendI like the ease of programming. With the WiFi capability, I can control my system from anywhere. This unit took the place of an older Rain Bird controller that was 19 years old.

Needs String WiFi
Would RecommendRequires a very strong wifi signal. Even though the bars on my phone showed a signal that should have been ok, the controller would not stay connected. So I bought a wifi extender, and set that up. Now it makes a good connection and I’m happy with the way it works.

Software is Not the Best
Would RecommendThe product came as described and controls normal sprinkler valves. Distance of my run from controller to valve is probably 100'. No problems with voltage drop on that distance. Controller comes with two different apps. The first is their Gen 1 app and is much older. Second is newer web based app (2.0) which is not easy to setup. I opted to use the Gen 1 app which is much easier to connect. Data (times, days, zones) is loaded on the controller locally and stored. Interface is slow so be patient ...

Does not include wifi adapter
Would RecommendBe careful when purchasing this product. Rainbird does not include the Wi-Fi adapter with the controller. That is a separate purchase.

Waste of money
Would Not RecommendWorst device ever, save yourself a hassle and buy something else. The app is terrible but the real issue is keeping the thing connected to WiFi. The last straw was after it disconnected for the 10th time in a few months it will not reconnect to my network, saying my SSID or password is incorrect. Even tried a hard reset and setup as new and problem persists
Easy install
Would RecommendThis system has great features that I like, especially the controls from a phone. Very easy to follow instructions for the set up, and the wiring was simple. For set up, it needed To be covered So putting out in the elements is something you’re not able to do. I have mine in the garage and drilled a hole through the wall to the outside and had to run extended lengths of wire To reach manifold. Overall was very simple to understand and complete project
Not Lowes fault but rather Rainbird
Would Not RecommendConnecting is horrible, still unable to connect.

Smart Irrigation Timer
Would RecommendThree months since I purchased this Smart Rainbird controller and I am very happy with it! installation and set up was was easy, the app is simple enough to use. Great to be able to turn on/off, adjust, set rain delay from my phone. the "soak cycle" feature works well here in the "high desert".
It was so easy
Would RecommendIt took a couple of weeks before I got around to replacing my ~30 year old controller. And man was I surprised. It was so easy to get it wired up and an absolute breeze to get it programmed. I couldn’t believe how much easier it is to program using the app. I’m very pleased with this purchase.

Quick easy to use sprinkler control system
Great sprinkler system that works for quite a few zones. Had this installed in about 1000sq ft yard. It has enough zones to make it useful for planned sections thst need different watering times and the app was fairly intuitive. This model does need to be indoors though.
Thank you for reaching out, and I am sorry for the frustration you have experienced. Please make sure you are using the Rain Bird 2.0 app, which is t...
