Rain-Bird ESP-TM2 Indoor Outdoor Irrigation WiFi Zone Controller Timer Box and Link Lnk WiFi Mobile Wireless Smartphone Upgrade Module Sprinkler System (4 Zone)

In excellent, updated model, compatible with earlier rain bird systems. Took 15 minutes to replace my old rain bird. Wi-Fi access is a major addition, and took another 15 minutes to set up. Through Wi-Fi it is extremely easy to monitor/control one's sprinkler settings. I highly recommend.

Excellent product.

I ordered a similar Hunter device from this vendor. It, and a replacement that Jamie (the vendor rep) sent separately, would not pair with my internet/server for some reason. This controller installed easily and paired just fine. I think its software is better, although it is only controllaable by my phone, rather than with the computer also. Jamie was wonderful to work with and was very responsive as we worked through the challenges.

I installed this Rain Bird controller yesterday. On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the most difficult, I would give the installation a 3 or 4. Its easy to install. Anyone can do it. I have a Florida home and installed it outside. The wall is masonry so I needed a masonry drill for the mounting screws. I didn't use the mounting screws and anchors that came with it because I wanted something a bit more heavy duty but I'm sure the included ones would work well too. Just my preference. I followed the instructions on the very well done Youtube video from Rain Bird. After installation and manual testing, I installed the Android app on my Galaxy Z Flip 6 phone. I found that you need to give it a couple minutes to find the Wifi network (SSID). Once I realized that the rest of the app setup was a breeze. The app is so well laid out that I doubt I will ever need to open the box to program ever again. Very nicely done Rain Bird!

I bought this to replace an older Rainbird control because I wanted the convenience of WiFi control. Unfortunately you have to buy the WiFi module separately and is somewhat over priced. All in all, it works perfect and is a nice upgrade to the old technology. It is also much smaller so it takes up less space on the wall. The Rainbird app is so easy to use and makes programming your zones a breeze. It’s also great to be able to water the lawn on the fly when at home or away. I highly recommend this controller.

This was a direct replacement for a Rainbird model from about 14 years prior. It mostly worked ok, but occasionally would not work. Late winter/early spring 2022 my SW Florida home experienced a bad drought that lasted 90 days. I was in Pennsylvania for almost 4 weeks and the old system did not work the whole time causing significant damage to newly planted fruit trees. I purchased this, installed it and got it setup on wifi in about 2 hours total. Just a 4 zone direct replacement so easy to hook everything. Works like a champ with perfect visibility whether inside my Florida home or in Pennsylvania. Buy this, you will not regret. I do not understand the reviews complaining about poor directions, difficult instalation or tough wifi hookup. I am 72 years d with only badic understanding of electrical systems. A new install would be a bit tougher, but only because of uncertainty over the sprinkler hookup.

TM2 is NOT compatible with Rainbird's 2.0 app!!! According to support this is not even in the works. Thus you must have a rain sensor, which burns through batteries, to have an automatic rain delay. Rachio, Moen and Hunter all do this natively! I suspect this controller is being chased out. Do your research before purchasing this product. Mine is going back.

Have only tested this controller briefly but so looking forward to the convenience of managing my sprinkler system watering away from home. Very adjustable simply from my phone.
