Rain-Bird ESP-TM2 Indoor Outdoor Irrigation WiFi Zone Controller Timer Box and Link Lnk WiFi Mobile Wireless Smartphone Upgrade Module Sprinkler System (4 Zone)

I ordered a similar Hunter device from this vendor. It, and a replacement that Jamie (the vendor rep) sent separately, would not pair with my internet/server for some reason. This controller installed easily and paired just fine. I think its software is better, although it is only controllaable by my phone, rather than with the computer also. Jamie was wonderful to work with and was very responsive as we worked through the challenges.

I bought this to replace an older Rainbird control because I wanted the convenience of WiFi control. Unfortunately you have to buy the WiFi module separately and is somewhat over priced. All in all, it works perfect and is a nice upgrade to the old technology. It is also much smaller so it takes up less space on the wall. The Rainbird app is so easy to use and makes programming your zones a breeze. It’s also great to be able to water the lawn on the fly when at home or away. I highly recommend this controller.

I installed this Rain Bird controller yesterday. On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the most difficult, I would give the installation a 3 or 4. Its easy to install. Anyone can do it. I have a Florida home and installed it outside. The wall is masonry so I needed a masonry drill for the mounting screws. I didn't use the mounting screws and anchors that came with it because I wanted something a bit more heavy duty but I'm sure the included ones would work well too. Just my preference. I followed the instructions on the very well done Youtube video from Rain Bird. After installation and manual testing, I installed the Android app on my Galaxy Z Flip 6 phone. I found that you need to give it a couple minutes to find the Wifi network (SSID). Once I realized that the rest of the app setup was a breeze. The app is so well laid out that I doubt I will ever need to open the box to program ever again. Very nicely done Rain Bird!

This was a direct replacement for a Rainbird model from about 14 years prior. It mostly worked ok, but occasionally would not work. Late winter/early spring 2022 my SW Florida home experienced a bad drought that lasted 90 days. I was in Pennsylvania for almost 4 weeks and the old system did not work the whole time causing significant damage to newly planted fruit trees. I purchased this, installed it and got it setup on wifi in about 2 hours total. Just a 4 zone direct replacement so easy to hook everything. Works like a champ with perfect visibility whether inside my Florida home or in Pennsylvania. Buy this, you will not regret. I do not understand the reviews complaining about poor directions, difficult instalation or tough wifi hookup. I am 72 years d with only badic understanding of electrical systems. A new install would be a bit tougher, but only because of uncertainty over the sprinkler hookup.

Excellent product.

Gone are the days of manual dial and frustrating program management for old sprinkler controller.. state of the art, easy to install. I didn’t face any issues setting up wifi.. Before setting up wifi restart modem, router and your smart phone and you will should be all set.. Great seller too.. fast delivery.. highly recommended!!!

Hunter clock died, so reliable Rainbird is back on duty. This is my second Rainbird controller. Installed easily. Worked perfectly the first time.Wifi feature seems like it will be useful. Will have to come up with a way to turn if off remotely if rain is anticipated. Might be able to make a "zero" program and switch to that when desired.So far, very happy with this purchase!
