Description
xMeet the Rain Bird ESP-ME3 4-Station WiFi Ready Indoor/Outdoor Controller. Built for residential yards and light commercial sites, this versatile controller starts with four zones and can grow to 22 zones with optional modules, letting you tailor irrigation to the size and complexity of your landscape.
Real-world use: In a typical home landscape, you can schedule turf, flower beds, and drip zones separately, while weather-aware adjustments help avoid overwatering on rainy days. The chassis is designed for indoor or outdoor placement; a power cord is included for quick plug-in setup, with the option to hardwire the transformer into a junction box if you prefer a cleaner installation.
Smart features that matter
Take control from anywhere with the optional Rain Bird LNK WiFi Module. When connected to the internet, the ESP-ME3 becomes a smart controller capable of remote programming and monitoring via the Rain Bird app. The app leverages local weather data to fine-tune routines, with potential water-saving benefits based on usage and climate.
- WiFi connectivity via LNK module (sold separately) allows access, operation, and monitoring from anywhere.
- Intelligent scheduling uses weather information to adjust daily irrigation runs, potentially reducing water use.
- Non-volatile memory preserves your settings through power outages, so you don’t lose schedules.
Expandable and future-ready
The ESP-ME3 ships with 4 zones but is designed to expand up to 22 zones with optional modules, making it suitable for growing landscapes or light commercial setups. You can add modules without removing or powering down the controller, supporting ongoing irrigation upgrades.
For even more control, pair the system with an WR2 rain sensor to earn WaterSense-style protection and a flow sensor to monitor system health and detect irregularities. The flow sensor option integrates with compatible devices to provide notifications and help you protect property while saving water. Upgrade to a WaterSense-certified smart controller by adding the LNK WiFi module and a WR2 rain sensor.
