Review: Excellent & Easy to Install Wireless Rain Sensor - Bought this Rainbird wireless rain sensor to connect to my recently installed Rainbird controller. The installation process was quick, took about 20 minutes, once it powered up the pairing process with the controller was quick and seamless. The instruction manual included is clear and takes you on a step by step process. Highly recommended
Review: Great Sensor Replacement - Worked great to replace my iffy one 5 years old. Good price comparatively. Didn’t need the controller, however, but it was cheaper than just the sensor alone. Tried new discs but they didn’t work. It was the plunger that got too stiff with age to react to the wet discs accurately.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work with the esp-me controller?**
A: Yes.

https://youtu.be/vmFNxkuVjbU

**Q: Can you program the shutoff time or is it always 72 hours?  I see answers saying the shutoff time is programmable but the doc indicates it is fixed.**
A: If you set X only then it will stay off until the sponge in the transmitter gets dry.  If you see X 72 then it will stay off starting with the rain and then turn on after 72 hrs.

**Q: My sprinkler system will not turn on since installing the rain sensor. What did i do wrong or How can I turn off the rain sensor?**
A: There are two ways the controller works to prevent watering.  1. Seasonal adjustment which uses the local forecast. 2. Rain gauge 
My system was not watering because the local forecast called for rain but I was not getting any rain.  I disabled the season adjustment to resolve this. The rain gauge will show how much water the lawn actually received. I brought my sensor in the house to make sure it was dry. Once dry I placed the sensor back in the yard. It has been working correctly.

**Q: Is this compatible with the rainbird st8i-wifi smart controller?**
A: According to rainbird's website - Suitable for use with Rain Bird and competitor 24VAC irrigation controllers.  NOTE: Not compatible with Rain Bird ESP-SMT, ESP-SMTe, SST600s or SST1200s smart controllers

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rainbird Wireless sensor.
*by S***K on September 23, 2025*

Works like a champ. Super easy to wire to the controller. I tested the sensor by putting it in the freezer and it turned the controller off and I also soaked it with water and it turned off the system too. I have had it for a few months and no troubles or connectivity issues. Highly Recommend
