Compatiable Controllers

Any controller that supports the RainBird LNK WiFi Module should be compatible. This includes:

  • ESP-Me
  • ESP-TM2
  • ESP-RZXe
  • ESP-ME3 (see "Known Limitations")

Known Limitations

  • Using the RainBird app while the plugin is running can cause connectivity issues
  • The RainBird LNK WiFi Module doesn't seem to support "Band Steering" and WiFi Channel 13. Please ensure your router is not configured to use these.
  • ESP-ME3: It is not currently possible to show the time remaining for a zone that was not started via the plugin (such as a scheduled program). The time remaining will show as 00:00 in these cases. Also a zone will show as active even though a scheduled program has been suspended (due to rain)
