  • DO NOT BUY. I am a 71 yo Engineer, this control is substandard JUNK!!!
Size: New 2.0 Model Indoor 8-Station Pattern Name: Timer
The display does not have sufficient contrast to be easily readable. The push buttons do not reliably make contact, programming is a nightmare if possible at all. Tech support was so busy telling me what to do that they DID NOT EFFECTIVELY LISTEN TO THEIR CUSTOMER. The Customer Service Rep actually hung up on A CUSTOMER! A MOST UNSATISFACTORY CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE, SHODDY GOODS. The switch contacts on the inside of the face plate did not evidence proper cleaning so that button pushes were not reliable. ... show more

  • Program zones on smartphone not on front panel
Size: New 2.0 Model Indoor 8-Station Pattern Name: Timer
It took me about an hour to get this controller up and running which included taking and saving photos of each zone area. This is a nice feature. Of note: the zone photos are stored on the phone not in the control unit. So adding another phone requires transfering the zone photos. Watching the wifi plugin led lights is essential in determining successful controller linkup to your smartphone. You can have more than one smartphone as a remote control. In my case I had one Samsung note 8 and one iphone iOS 12.4. (Xs) I found it easier to program each zone via the phone not using the controller front panel. This rainbird wifi controller replaced an earlier model rainbird controller that had a detachable wireless remote control which provided erratic connectivity. This ST8 is so much better. I can get the grandkids soaked while lounging in my chair out back. ... show more

  • Simple and Easy to Use
Size: New 2.0 Model Indoor/Outdoor 8-Station Pattern Name: Timer
I wanted to replace my old non-WiFi unit with one that I could control from my phone. I researched several units and picked this Rain Bird one since it had just the features I wanted. I have a 5 zone system and needed just to set each zone’s start time, duration, and days to water. I also had an existing rain sensor to connect. The installation videos and instructions were easy to follow, and I was up and running in about an hour. I downloaded the app to my iPhone and set up WiFi access. I programmed each zone and found the app very straightforward and easy to use. From my phone I tested that each zone turned on and off. The next morning at 6 am, I checked to see that the unit was working. I also set up notifications to tell me when watering is completed. I would definitely recommend this unit. ... show more

  • Smart controller
Size: New 2.0 Model Indoor 8-Station Pattern Name: Timer
This has made life so convenient. Example: I was laying in bed about to go to sleep. Boom thunder, and it started pouring down rain. Instead of having to hop out of bed and go to the garage turn off the sprinkler controller, I just grab my phone off the nightstand and temporarily turn off the controller for 24 hours. How cool is that? ... show more

  • WIFI Dead in less than 2 months.
Size: New 2.0 Model Indoor 8-Station Pattern Name: Timer
Unit was very easy to install and set up. The accompanying app made controlling the irrigation system a breeze. However, by the 2nd day I started getting disconnect notifications and in less than 60 days the LNK Wifi module was dead. Gave it the second star because the irrigation timer still works. The problem is only with the wifi, which really defeats the whole purpose of purchasing a wifi enabled timer. ... show more

  • Simple to Install
Size: New 2.0 Model Indoor 8-Station Pattern Name: Timer
Very simple to install. Take a picture of your wiring before switching to this controller unless you already have experience doing this! I was able to remove my old controller and install this one in a matter of about 15 minutes. It was very easy to program for my daily watering events. I also paired this with a rain sensor/freeze senor which was also extremely easy to install with this controller! Not a fan of the wifi connection with this controller. I may have mis-read something, but I can only control this with my phone from within a few feet of the controller. I've tried numerous times to connect from other locations within my house or even the garage where the controller is installed and it will not connect. Very disappointed in the wifi feature, otherwise, seems good so far! ... show more

  • TOUCHY WIFI SETTINGS, but a good system. Great SUPPORT.
Size: New 2.0 Model Indoor 8-Station Pattern Name: Timer
GOOD: Rain Bird did a good job overall. The mechanical install of the unit was easy and I was replacing an older Hunter system that was terrible. BAD: This company uses a red/green indicator light, which is the worst thing they could do for about 10% of us colorblind people. But my wife helped out in that department. UGLY: The WiFi setup was terrible for me and may be for others. If not for spectacular personal technical support by Mehgan at RainBird, this could easily have been a one-star rating. She took the time to troubleshoot the bugs. It turned out the Android App needed to have permissions manually approved and set for both Storage and Location … your phone settings for the App itself. Also make sure your cache and data are cleared out if you had previous failed attempts to connect like I did. At first the device, only 20 ft from my wireless 2.4GHz router was saying weak signal … but then after clearing data and cache it suddenly was a strong signal. Then it connected just fine AFTER saying it didn't have internet, then it really did have internet. I think the software is immature and Rain Bird is having to work through it BOTTOM LINE: It is a good product, but the WiFi settings may be hit or miss for you. Fortunately Rain Bird is backing their product with excellent tech support. I can honestly rate it five stars. ... show more

  • Easy to install and set up. Did not need tech support at all. WiFi feature works great.
Size: New 2.0 Model Indoor/Outdoor 8-Station Pattern Name: Timer
This was a snap to install. I replaced an older non-WiFi controller with this one. Since the WiFi module alone costs between $80 and $100 retail, this unit with the module already installed is a bargain. This is my second Rainbird controller on my farm, so I already had the app on my phone and had made it up the learning curve. I can understand the complaints regarding the poor visibility of the units display in bright light, but once the time and date are programmed everything else can be set up using the app on your phone from the comfort of your home. I did not have the need for tech support with either of my controllers, so I cannot comment pro or con. BTW, if you are mounting on drywall and need hardware, it is packed together with the batteries. I did not realize this and had to pause my installation to look in my shop for anchors and screws. Not until the final installation stage did I install the batteries as instructed and discovered that there was indeed supplied installation hardware. ... show more
