Rain Bird SST1200OUT Simple-to-Set Indoor/Outdoor Sprinkler/Irrigation Timer/Controller, 12-Zone/Station (this New/Improved Model Replaces SST1200O),Gray/Green

I needed a replacement controller for my 11 zone system so buying this 12 zone controller was perfect, It replaced a previous 18 year RainBird controller. No need to buy two 6 zone system so I saved a lot of money. Very easy to install, program multiple start times, zones and increase/decrease watering times based on weather/season. Highly recommend this inexpensive controller that is basic without any bells and whistles and does the job. What helped me decide on this controller is that I bought it on sale and 2 day delivery.

The product quality shows as soon as you open the package, and as the ad states you really don't need the instructions, the setup is that easy, and what else can I say, it's Rainbird!!

Controller was very affordable and installed with little effort. Programming is a little more effort than it seems like it should have been. If I were to purchase again I would get a unit with wifi so I could use my phone or laptop to program and control. But, really, how often do you need to program your sprinkler controller? One big tip, others complained about having to set the date and time for each zone. Then, if you change the length of time on a lower numbered zone, you had to manually change the start time for all the following zones. Not true. Set all the zones for the same exact start time and the zones will run sequentially regardless of watering time. About 3 months in and everything works great. Would 100% purchase again.

This is a simple and easy to wire up and program unit. This Rainbird unit does not have Wifi capability, but I am very content without it. Simple to change program times and very intuitive. Once you set this Bird up, you will never have to look at instructions again. That simple.

Little strange for programming, but it works
