Rain Bird ESP-TM2 Irrigation Controller (WiFi Module Not Included) / 4 Zones RainBird TM2-4

This is a great unit BUT you must determine what kind of installation you wish.If you are mounting the unit on an interior wall to replace an existing unit - it's basically plug and play. You may have to play around with the wall mounting as the footprint may differ from your existing unit. Connect the station wiring, plug in the wall plug and away you go. No futher considerations are necessary.With an exterior unit with power from a circuit breaker box, things get a little more interesting. Our power was run through conduit to the breaker box. The station wiring run through conduit to the controller box. And of course, the footprint was not identical.So, to tackle the power conduit issue, I took a step drill and opened up the inlet such that I could then just insert the conduit and run up the nut.The station wiring conduit of course was a different size so it just slid into place with no issue. It's going to require a run to Home Depot to find a electric box nut of appropriate size to properly secure the fitting.Not quite the 15 minute install some would have you believe but completely doable without too many expletives. Nice to have items:1. Battery operated drill2. Step drill3. Contractor electric box fittings4. Larger wall inserts for unit mountingThe WIFI unit arrives tomorrow, this is supposedly plug and play. Should automatically find the WIFI channel and log into weather to determine the variables for auto ON/OFF. According to the manufacturer, the weather login negates the requirement for a remote rain sensor, they are supposedly antiquated technology. In any case, we were adivised not to spend the additional monies.This is a step up in technology - should be fun.

Replaced my 5-year old controller that died from a close lighting strike. This is a good unit that is easy to program and the price was right on Amazon. It was a like-for-like swap, so installation was a breeze. Just be sure you select the one with the correct number of zones. There are plenty of online videos on how to select watering days, hours and answer any questions you might have. I even added the Rain-Bird WiFi link so I can control my system from my phone from anywhere.

Purchased this as a replacement for the same name brand controller box that died on me. I ordered this thinking, I would have to hard wire the power cord. While not difficult it was nice not having to kill power to wire in the power cord from my previous controller. Only had to hook up the wires to control my four zones, plug it in and done!!!!!!! Working like a champ

Overall, a good product. It works like it's supposed to. Only issue was setting the days/times. Might have been operator error, but I'm usually pretty good with this kind of thing. Finally figured it out.

Received the item today and installed it without any difficulties. Good seller for Amazon. Thank you.

Well made, does what it is supposed to do. Had to return as my unit is hard wired, otherwise would have been easy to connect. Price higher than expected.

We replace an old unit. Easy to install.

Great water sprinkler controller you can rest your mind knowing your lawn will be taken care of.
