Review: Avis - Top
Review: Best Hybrid Model (phone app and control panel) - When looking for a timer/controller I wanted one that that had both a phone app and a fully functional control panel - not a lot of choices out there - but this gives both. Note though to get all the functionality out of this unit you need the wifi module and highly recommend the Rainbird Rain (and Temp) sensor. Wifi module lets you control from your phone and allows you to enable the automatic season adjust feature that will update watering time each day (i.e.duration not start/stop times) based on weather forecast (in your zip code). Season adjust works on the forecast and will adjust run times to a minimum of 5% of normal (will never bypass watering altogether - this is common with timers having this feature), so if it monsooned yesterday it will still water - this is why I recommend the Rain Sensor which will completely bypass watering until drier conditions exist. The built in panel is easy to use and read under most lighting conditions and is fairly intuitive. A reference card is included for the most commonly used functions. The phone app has saved me miles of walking to the timer mounted in the garage when adjusting/replacing sprinkler heads. It also provides status of your system and allows you to fine tune on the fly. Installed in 2019 and still happy with my choice with no regrets.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I programmed my esp-tm2 for each of the 8 zones to run for 12 minutes at 4am. will all 8 zones run at 4am for 12 minutes or run one after another?**
A: They run sequentially not all at the same time.  Your program will probably start at 4:00 a.m. by running zone 1 and then progress up through zone 8.  Your program should end 96 minutes after it starts so that would be at 5:36 a.m.  It will repeat this cycle for each day of the week that you set it to run that program (eg., Program # 1).  Hope this is helpful.

**Q: How many colts**
A: Input is 120 VAC. Output is 24 VAC

**Q: When my programmed cycle ends it automatically restarts and goes through another cycle.  my programs b and c are off.  why does it keep cycling?**
A: I called rain bird...

**Q: Can you show me a picture of the power supply**
A: It's an internal power supply that has a power cord connected to it for a direct plug-in installation. For a hardwired installation, simply remove the power cord from the transformer.
Thank you
