Rain Bird irrigation controllers

Rain Bird controllers for automatic irrigation

A Rain Bird irrigation controller allows you to automate garden watering and manage different areas independently. Pop-up sprinklers for lawns, dripline along hedges and irrigation for garden beds can be divided into separate zones and activated automatically according to your programmed schedules.

Rain Bird offers controllers for different system sizes and requirements. When choosing a model, consider how many irrigation zones you need, whether the controller is intended for indoor or outdoor installation and which expansion and smart control functions are supported.

Control multiple irrigation zones

The number of stations determines how many irrigation zones can be controlled independently. This allows you to separate different areas of the garden and set watering times to suit lawns, beds, hedges and drip irrigation systems.

Some Rain Bird controllers can be expanded with additional station modules. This is useful if your irrigation system is likely to grow in the future. You can either plan spare stations from the beginning or choose an expandable controller and add further irrigation zones when required.

Rain Bird controllers with WiFi

Depending on the model, compatible Rain Bird controllers may provide smart functions or support a suitable WiFi module. This allows the irrigation system to be managed through a compatible app, making it convenient to adjust watering programs and settings using a smartphone or tablet.

Always check which WiFi module is compatible with your Rain Bird controller. Depending on the model, compatible sensors can also be connected. Rain sensors and other suitable components can help adapt automatic irrigation more closely to conditions in your garden.

Install a Rain Bird irrigation controller

In conventional 24 V irrigation systems, the Rain Bird controller is connected to the solenoid valves using suitable control cable. Each solenoid valve operates an irrigation zone and is activated through the corresponding controller station, providing central control of your garden irrigation system.

Start by planning the required irrigation zones and then choose a Rain Bird controller with enough stations. With solenoid valves, control cables, sensors and compatible controller accessories, you can build your automatic irrigation system and expand it later depending on the selected system.
