Swapped this out for a very old controller in my garage from 1991. No problems. Easy to hook up. Pretty easy to figure out how to program this one too since it's all buttons and a dial on the front. Some people like the newer style ones with a touch screen and an app that you can put on your phone but I did not care about all that.

Very easy to setup and install. The instruction were clear and made it very easy. It’s a simple and modern sprinkler timer in one. The cost of the timer is very good and competitive. The quality of the timer is top notch as in all of Rain Bird products. It connects to all my zones and wires perfectly. The weather monitoring is very good and matches the high end timers.

Replaced the previous older version of this controller which had digital push buttons. Had a new lawn installed recently. It was perplexing and difficult to program the auto-runs and two-a-days. Was able to quickly install and program this newer model. Very user friendly! Price was a little higher than I expected. Amazon delivered the next morning, so happy!

I have had this for about 2 weeks now, psyching myself up to install it. I must have watched a dozen videos at this point. Finally, decided to do it today and all in all, it was do-able and it works, which would be 5-star. But the instructions, although clear, made it more difficult. Typically people are replacing an existing system and have a jumble of wires to work with. And so installing the panel on the wall first was actually very difficult for getting the wires to go into numbered spaces. I would recommend people go ahead and get the majority of the wires in first (except for the three above the screw; leave those to be completed last after it’s installed on the wall). I also did plug it in to make sure it worked but did not plug it in for good until after I had the wires all hooked up. So due to the unnecessary difficulty with installing the wires and the fact that it’s only been installed for 3-hours so no experience with functionality, I deducted a star. But I expect it will work out fine and the zone set up was VERY easy. I am pleased that we didn’t pay a contractor to replace it. Even at the height of difficulty, I scoffed at that cost!

Lighting took out my Hunter irrigation system controller so it was time to upgrade to a better controller. The Hunter controller was very odd to program as well. The Rain Bird was very easy to install. More over it was very easy to program. Plus, the features are well thought out. If you want to run your normal watering program on an "off cycle" day this is very easy to do with the "Water All Zones Now" button. Pressing this button will water each programmed zone sequentially. Since I don't set the schedule to water the yard on a Saturday or Sunday due to the fact that I usually do yard work on those days, there are times when I do want to water on one of those days. A simple press of this button will easily accomplish watering of each programmed zone. And the "Rain Delay" button is extremely nice. Since I do not have a rain sensor I rely on myself to turn off the sprinkler system when rain is on the way. By selecting the dial to the Rain Delay function, the controller will belay watering for up to 72 hours. When the knob is in this function simply use the up arrow to delay watering in 12 hour intervals up to 72 hours. Then move knob back to the Auto Run position. The screen will display the delayed watering hours that were selected. This is a nice function for delaying watering due to rain as you don't have to remember to turn the system back on. My previous controller I had to turn off the controller when rain is coming but I had to remember to turn back on the controller. Well, that didn't always happen. There are other nice features but I will not mention every single item that I like about the controller. So far I have not encountered anything that I do not like. My application is fairly simple, as I only have 5 watering zones at my home, so I don't demand too much from the controller. It gets the job done and is very easy to use.

Best clock I’ve ever used. Installed for my brothers irrigation system, so easy to set the days and time, love having the indicator lights, has all the functions he needs. So many clocks are hard to read and set, this is so so easy! Wiring it in is a snap.

(a) Packaging & Shipping ... you do pay for this. Fulfillment put a sticker on the side of the box and sent it through the mail where I found it crammed into my mailbox. Box was all torn up. Kind of disgusted by shipping and handling. Rating ... 1 star. (b) Product. First Impression: I bought this controller to replace a failing Rain Bird. Loved the old controller. Hefty knob on the front. Had a cover. Very tidy install. Intuitive. So, I was hoping for more of the same; probably looking for retro tech. So, my expectations were not met by the newer and cheaper looking model. I am the sort of person that likes to handle things before buying them. I probably would not have bought this unit had I seen it first. The install is fairly easy. I needed: screwdriver, hammer, level, pencil, drill bits and paint to touch up the wall. I marked all the wires. Then I removed the old controller and wall anchors. I spackled up the holes and painted the small area. Then I lined up the new controller and installed new wall anchors. Took maybe 5 minutes to mount the new controller, attach the wires I had marked earlier and then program it. I rated it 5 stars for price and ease of programming. I just wanted a simple ole fashioned irrigation controller for a reasonable price, that was fairly intuitive to program. Fits my needs just fine.

This was used to replace a 20 year old Rain Bird controller which was similar in function. This unit, however, is much simpler to program and meets all the requirements I need for a controller including a rain sensor connection. It also has a 72 - hr delay switch which can be useful for reducing excess watering. It would be nice if it could be activated remotely but probably not cost effective to have a wifi connection for this one function. Looking at all the wifi connected controller reviews seems to indicate many people had problems making them function properly.

Keep track of the wiring to simplify the install and it will be easy to install. Works well and easy to operate.

Not meant for Europe. It is 110 Volt.

When you buy this product to use in India, you should separately purchase 230VAC to 110V AC step-down adaptor (power supply unit) or a 24VAC Power supply unit which can directly connect to the controller . The Controller in put power is 24V AC . This Product comes with 110VAC 60Hz to 24V AC 60Hz stepdown adapter which will suit for US distribution . This controller having self battery back up feature, in case of power failure the settings / date will not change is an advantage from previous version . Easy to set and user friendly controller .

دقيق و سهل البرمجة مكتوب انه يشتغل فقط على 110v ولكن انا مشغل التايمر على فيش 220v و ما وجهت اي مشكلة فيه
