Pros & Cons

Pros

As described in listing and is a quality product. It's a little confusing to program, but just take your time and it will all work out.

Easy to install and set up. Took about 20 minutes to install. Easy to setup and make adjustments. Setting up the system and watering days was super simple.

Replaced 20 year old rainbird controller. Old one got zapped by a power surge. Power was run through conduit to the breaker box. Replaced my esp model.

The rainbird app works great and you have full control wherever you are. The remote access works ok. Sometimes it temporarily loses the connection, but it's usually easy to reconnect. Great when paired with rain bird wifi module and rain sensor.
