Rain Bird 2.0 App Features
Advanced Mapping: Map pins turn red when battery is below 30%. Select a mapping pin and access commonly used shortcuts: manual water, edit controller, battery status, controller sharing, change address, Bluetooth status and delete device.
Offline Mode: Edit, track, and save desired controller changes in the app, even when out of Bluetooth™ range. Review change log at anytime. Rapid synchronize change log when back on site and in Bluetooth™ range.
Controller Sharing: Streamline operations and collaboration with your team. Share secure access of any and all devices with new team members. Keep existing team members up-to-date with on-site controller changes or make offline changes from anywhere and share with a team on site for synchronization.
Monthly Seasonal Adjust: Seasons change and so should your water schedule. Program adjustment values by month for the entire year in advance, saving not just water but site visits.
Cycle + Soak™: Eliminate runoff, a common form of water waste by breaking up the total run time into shorter cycles so the soil has time to soak in the water.
Seconds Based Irrigation: Run times go down to 7 seconds allowing one second intervals (7 seconds to 18 hours run times).
Calendar Days Off: Have an event in the park and you want to be sure irrigation doesn’t run? Schedule the day(s) off ahead of time.
Permanent Days Off: Do you always mow on Thursdays? Exlcude certain day(s) of the week on a recurring basis, no matter the chosen watering frequency.
Additional Images: Quickly identify stations and sites via custom imagery.
Interstation Delay: Allow a delay between a station turning off and another turning on. This ensures your hydraulics are never compromised.
Rain Delay: Is rain coming? Save a site visit, turn the controller off for up to 14 days and then auto-resume irrigation. If rain is expected for more than 14 days set Monthly Seasonal Adjust values to 0%.
Pause Active Irrigation: If and when a broken nozzle occurs, simply pause the station, fix the issue and resume right where the irrigation program left off.
Search & Filter: Easily find controller(s) right from the home screen. Sort by name, controller type, recently added or last connected. Filter by Bluetooth in range, sync available or low battery.
Controller Grouping: For sites with multiple battery-operated controllers, add multiple controllers to a group for organized on-site operations.
Quick Status: View all your connected controllers and their most relevant statuses: controller auto, controller off, rain delay, calendar day(s) off, battery life and Bluetooth connection.
Controller Features
Basic programming includes independent programs A, B, C and D each with 8 start times per day
Stations can be assigned to several programs with different watering run times
Run time is from 7 seconds to 9 hours (max 18 hours with 200% seasonal adjust) in 1 second increments
Independent station operation allows sequential start times (with stacking in case of overlap)
Global Monthly Seasonal Adjust; 0% to 200% (1% increment)
Five watering day cycle modes (custom, even, odd, odd-31, cyclical) with permanent days off so no irrigation takes place on mow days, selectable by program for maximum flexibility and watering restriction compliance
Rain Delay from 1 to 14 days
Backup program may be saved and restored (manually or automatically for contractor default capability)
No loss of irrigation program after a battery replacement
Up to 15 calendar days off per year
Rain Sensor shutoff globally or by station
Run-off management with Cycle + Soak™️, available down to 7 second cycles
Short and open circuit detection
PIN code protection
