Common Questions:

Q: Does this controller include the WiFi module?

A: No, the ESP-TM2 is "WiFi-Ready," meaning it has the internal port for the LNK2 WiFi Module, but the module itself is sold separately.

Q: Can I install this inside my garage?

A: Yes. Because it is outdoor-rated, it can be installed either inside a garage/shed or directly on an exterior wall exposed to the elements.

Q: What happens if I have more than 4 zones?

A: The ESP-TM2-4 is a "fixed" 4-station model. If you have 6, 8, or 12 zones, you will need to purchase the corresponding ESP-TM2-6, 8, or 12 model.

The Rain Bird ESP-TM2 combines classic reliability with modern smart-home potential, making it the smartest choice for managing your home's irrigation.
