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)
