xSmart irrigation made simple
The Rain Bird ARC4 Indoor Smart Irrigation Timer brings compact, WiFi-enabled control to a four-zone system. Designed for indoor mounting, this controller connects to your home network and works with most standard 24 VAC valves. With the Rain Bird app, you can set, monitor, and adjust schedules from anywhere, empowering you to manage irrigation on the fly while staying in tune with your landscape’s needs.
Flexible scheduling for real-world gardens
Configure up to three programs (A, B, and C) per zone, with up to four start times per program. Run times range from 1 minute to 6 hours, and you can name each zone for quick identification. The ARC4 supports diverse patterns—daily, odd/even, and cyclic watering—to align with local rules and seasonal shifts, making on-site management smoother than ever.
In practice, this means you can tailor watering around plant maturity, soil type, or new plantings, and you can pause schedules if rain is in the forecast without losing track of your overall plan. Quick access via the control panel or the mobile app keeps you in command, whether you’re at home or away.
- 1 to 6 hours per run with up to 12 start times across all programs
- Names and pictures help you identify each zone quickly
- Custom watering days and cyclic options keep you compliant with local restrictions
Smart water management for your climate
ARC4 leverages local weather forecasts and historic averages to automatically skip or adjust daily watering. This intelligent approach can reduce water usage by adjusting schedules in response to predicted conditions, helping you maintain a healthy landscape while being mindful of conservation goals.
- Weather-based adjustments aim to optimize irrigation without oversaturation
- Seasonal Adjust lets you dial run times up or down by 5% to 200% across all programs
- Watering Delay suspends irrigation for 1 to 14 days and resumes automatically
Smart home, alerts, and practical control
Stay informed with notifications about programming changes, valve issues, WiFi connectivity, or clock errors. The ARC4 is compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, iOS, and Android, enabling voice- or app-based control. You can also share system access with family members or maintenance professionals, and perform quick manual watering when needed.
- Alexa and Google Assistant compatibility for hands-free control
- Easy sharing of access with trusted people
- Manual watering from the timer or app for targeted care
Certified to EPA WaterSense standards, the ARC4 reflects Rain Bird’s commitment to efficient, responsible irrigation. For enhanced protection, compatible accessories such as rain, freeze, and valve-related peripherals can extend control and safeguards in eligible setups.
