How to Choose a Rain Bird Controller

A controller is the timer that runs your watering schedule, switching on each zone’s valve in turn. Rain Bird’s ESP family runs from simple residential timers to modular commercial units, with LNK Wi-Fi options for app control and weather-based watering.

Choose a controller with at least as many stations as you have zones, leaving room to expand. Add a rain or soil-moisture sensor so the controller skips cycles when the ground is already wet.
