What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise the smart irrigation controller for its intuitive app, independent zone customization, and water-saving features like cycle-and-soak and soil-type presets. Installation is consistently described as quick and straightforward, with sturdy build quality. The app-based remote control and weather-based scheduling are frequently cited as game-changers. However, a notable group reports persistent WiFi connectivity issues, including weak signal penetration and slow response times, though some resolve this with signal boosters. Despite these drawbacks, most customers consider the product highly satisfactory and worth the upgrade.

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.

Handy Remote/WiFi Watering System

Would Recommend

The Rain Bird watering system controller was fairly straightforward to install. There is a little bit of wiring required to connect to your watering system, as well as connecting the plug. I like that it didn't have to be hardwired in if I needed to move it at any point so I wired the plug. Will take a little time to get used to using the app, but it's really nice to be able to remotely control my watering system. I have a small orchard and a full acre garden so this has become my new favorite h...

RainBird wi-fi sprinkler controller is awesome!!!

Would Recommend

The Rain Bird 6 station ARC indoor wi-fi sprinkler controller is very impressive. It was extremely simple to unpack and itemize its components. Because it is for indoor use only, I added a small plastic wall box to my house wall to keep it protected. The wiring of the Rain Bird unit was very well explained and worked flawlessly. Once I attached all the wires and plugged in the power chord, I then downloaded the Rain Bird app. You must be able to use the app to operate and set this unit. On...

Game changer

Would Recommend

This is an absolute game changer for my greenhouse. Instead of hooking it to my irrigation system for my yard I connected it for my watering system to my greenhouse. This deletes precisely the right amount of water that my plants need at the right times! Love it

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. It provides 8 zones and you can control how much water/time do you want for each zone. Each zone can be customized separately. The rain bird provides additional feature to control it via WiFi using app from the App Store. You can customize it , control it from anywhere. It has tremendously helped in reducing the water ...

Rainbird ARC 6 station sprinkler controller.

Would Recommend

I installed the Rain Bird ARC 6 a couple of days ago and it’s been running great. I’ve got 4 zones and this controller handles them all without a problem. Setup was pretty simple. I mounted it in the my garage where my old controller was, it was straightforward, and connected it to my WiFi through the Rain Bird app. The app walked me through everything. Took maybe 30–45 minutes total. The mobile app is the best part. I can start or stop watering from my phone and adjust schedules without having ...

A little less than par.

This product is not difficult to hook up. However, the connection seemed to be a little cantankerous. The application was not as responsive as it should. I give it a mediocre score of 3 out of 5 stars.

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.

Great controller but tough installation.

Would Recommend

I wanted to be able to control my system by WiFi in case of rain. This allows me to control from anywhere. My problem was finding a place to mount the controller, while still being able to run the wiring to the valves.

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...

6 -Station Digital Rain Bird irrigation timer

Would Recommend

I recently upgraded my irrigation system with the 6-Station Digital Rain Bird Irrigation Timer, and I couldn't be more pleased with its performance. This timer has truly transformed the way I manage watering my plants, making it both efficient and hassle-free. First and foremost, the setup was incredibly straightforward. The user-friendly interface and clear instructions made installation a breeze, even for someone like me who isn't particularly tech-savvy. Once installed, programming the timer...

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.
