xSmart irrigation at your fingertips
Meet the Rain Bird ST8I-2.0, a smart indoor timer that puts irrigation control where you want it—on your phone, in your voice, or right on the timer's panel. The WiFi connection lets you monitor and adjust watering from anywhere, helping you save time, water, and money without sacrificing healthy landscapes.
Structured around eight zones, this controller supports individualized schedules for each area, so you can tailor start times and run durations to plant needs, sun exposure, and soil type. The device remembers all settings even after power interruptions, so you won't lose your plans in a storm or a blackout.
Smart features that adapt to your yard
- Automatic Seasonal Adjust uses local weather, temperature, and humidity to fine-tune daily watering.
- WaterSense certified to help achieve meaningful water savings compared with non-certified timers.
- Rain delay and rain sensor compatibility let weather events pause irrigation automatically.
- Notifications in the Rain Bird app keep you informed when programs change or issues arise.
Control options bring flexibility to your routine. You can set up to six start times per zone and run times from 0 to 199 minutes, with flexible watering days like weekdays, odd/even cycles, or every few days. The system supports a wired valve starter relay and is compatible with common 24 VAC valves, plus it can be connected to a master valve or pump start relay. You can access controls via WiFi remotely, still use the local control panel, and share access with family members or landscapers across multiple devices.
Durability and ease of use matter. The sealed enclosure protects against moisture and grime, making it suitable for garages or weather-resistant sheds. Setup is straightforward with included mounting hardware and a compact transformer. As a connected device, you can install the Rain Bird app across devices, enable voice control with Alexa, and regularly review water usage data to adjust future schedules. The system also supports using climate-based data from your ZIP code to tailor watering each night for the next day.
