Rain BirdESP-TM2 8 Station WiFi Ready Indoor/Outdoor Controller | TM2-8

The Rain Bird controller has saved me so much running back and forth to the controller to test and time sprinklers! Our controller is in our daylight basement with concrete on 3 sides and walls and doors on the other side. It was a long trek, often muddy, from the controller to a zone to see if sprinklers are working, then back into the house to change zones and check the next zone. Wifi solved everything! The wifi to the controller is as good as if not better than within the house. Our house is 100 feet long and the controller is at one end of it (and like I said, behind concrete), and our lot is 200 feet long, yet I can control the zones from the far end of the property. Takes a few seconds to establish the connection, then from zone to zone it's virtually instant. No more traipsing back and forth from controller to zone, having to take off my shoes (mud, debris) and put them back on. Saves a ton of time. Works perfectly. And you can name your zones if you can't remember which zone is which by the numbers. Go to Edit Controller, then tap on the zones below, and you get a keyboard. And I can adjust everything from my recliner or from the coffee shop or wherever I am, even traveling. I could not be happier with this thing, and I appreciate Rain Bird's attention to quality. I just hope it keeps going, but our previous Rain Bird was 15 years old and performing perfectly -- it just didn't have wifi.

Love new timer. Easy to install and if you have any questions you can call the hotline

I wanted a controller with front panel controls, but also upgradable to wifi control. This ESP-TM2 controller seems well made and was easy to replace my 30-year-old Rain Bird controller. Zone 1 had stopped working. After labeling wires and removing old controller, I measured each solenoid at about 50 ohms, neither short nor open. After installing new ESP-TM2 controller all zones work great. Also replaced old wireless rain sensor with new $20 wired sensor (part # CPRSDBEX). Then bought and installed the LNK2WIFI and used the app to remotely manage irrigation. The Rain Bird app initially had trouble installing and communicating, but after some fiddling now works great. If 10-20 years from now Rain Bird stops supporting their app, I still have the front panel controls.

Works great. Upgraded a 21 yr old controller just to have WiFi! Tested the reach of WiFi connection with an Amazon Alexa speaker. Bought WiFi connection separately and works seamlessly. It’s great!Set up entire programming inside the house rather than standing in summer Texas heat in garage. He connected it in ten minutes.

This is a simple clock to use, my mom is 80 years old and can use the clock. Its weakness is the construction, all plastic. If it's in direct sun it may not last very long.I ordered this in the morning from Amazon and both clocks were delivered by 1pm in Layton Utah. Fantastic!

Just got it and installed it, I honestly think it's a good quality piece, easy to install and a fair price.... so far..If I see any issues will come back to update my review if I don't, it's because it keeps working great!!

My husband installed this rain bird Sprinkler Control for my mother who need simplicity of operation.It was super easy to install and very easy for my mother in her 80’s to operate. Just on and off switch tooperate. Works great, looks nice and shipped quickly.A+++Seller !!

Exactly replacement. We purchased a new home and the new one we had just completely crapped out. Called the manufacturer and stated you’d have to try to drop it off and get it fixed but said it could take several weeks.Just ended up buying this one, which is a really good price. Easy to install, got it fast too. Recommend buying if you have this model too.
