About this item

  • With 4 to 22 stations, the ESP-ME3 provides the station count options customers need. Install the same controller on residential and light commercial sites. Add station modules when expanding irrigation without removing or even powering down the controller.
  • Upgrade the ESP-ME3 to a SMART controller by adding the LNK WiFi module and a WR2 rain sensor. The LNK makes programming and monitoring easy through the enhanced Rain Bird app.
  • Configurable to 22 stations with additional 3 or 6 station modules for different sized jobs or future irrigation needs. Comes with power plug and outdoor cabinet for indoor or outdoor installation.
  • Be alerted of system issues including electrical, programming, or high flow (when using a flow sensor) through a red LED and scrolling messages coupled with mobile device alerts when used with the LNK WiFi Module and the Rain Bird app.
  • Large text and symbols make the color-coded dial positions easy to understand. Large 3” back-lit screen is clear to read in dark garages or sheds.


The industry’s most flexible irrigation controller solution that supports flow monitoring, LNK WiFi, and up to 22 stations.

For even greater water monitoring and protection from a broken irrigation system install a flow sensor.

Features

WiFi Connectivity

By simply plugging in a Rain Bird LNK WiFi Module (sold separately), users can access, operate and monitor their irrigation system from anywhere. Internet-based weather information is used to make daily adjustments to the irrigation schedule, saving up to 30% in water.

Flow Monitoring

Compatible with multiple sizes and makes of wired flow sensors for flow monitoring and notifications to save water and protect against property damage.

Bypass Rain Sensor by Station

Bypass the rain sensor for stations under an eave or deck or in a greenhouse for consistent watering.

Seasonal Adjust by Program

Save water by changing the seasonal adjust from 5% to 200% for corrected run times without changing the scheduled times.

One-Touch Watering

With the dial in the AUTO position, just press and hold the right arrow button to start manually watering the current program.

Contractor Default

Simply save a default program and if the original watering schedule is overwritten in error, easily restore it in just two steps.

Programming Recommendation

Rain Bird recommends that the maximum irrigation zone cycle time be less than the time required for runoff to begin and that there be adequate soak time before the next irrigation cycle of that same zone begins again.

Operating Specifications

Station timing: 1 minute to 6 hours

Seasonal Adjust; 5% to 200%

This controller has all the features I was looking for. I added the WIFI module and the rain/freeze sensor. I am able to adjust the timing with my mobile and run one or all zones on the fly if needed. The rain gauge has adjustable trigger and delay. This is going to save me in the long run. Additionally I replaced this from a working Rain Bird controller which has run flawlessly for 17 years. Having the new features and option to add more zones, like one for my garden only, is why I upgraded.

My Lawn guy recommended this controller and unfortunately he was very busy and could not install it for a while. He suggested I do it myself and talked me through how to do it. I replaced my 20 year old Toro controller with my wife and we did it in 35 minutes. Labeled all the wires with a Sharpie on the Toro(a lot larger one) then punched the punch out on the back of the Rainbird and pulled the wires through. Hung and leveled the Rainbird box after taking off the outer door and the inner control panel. Rewired the new box and plug it in and all 7 stations worked!! Sent a note to SprinklerPartsWholesale.com and got an immediate response on my question regarding the need for a 9 volt battery (not needed), Great support!!
