Rain Bird TBOS-BT1LT Bluetooth Irrigation Controller
Bring smart, app-based control to any location with the Rain Bird TBOS-BT1LT Bluetooth Battery-Operated Irrigation Controller. This rugged, single-station controller is the perfect solution for irrigating sites that have no AC power, such as street medians, roundabouts, or remote garden beds. As an "LT" model, this controller is programmed exclusively through a direct Bluetooth connection to the free Rain Bird smartphone app, eliminating the need for an older infrared remote.
Forget kneeling in the valve box to make changes. From the comfort of your truck or just a few feet away, you can use your phone to create flexible schedules, set seasonal adjustments from 0-300%, or issue a rain delay for 1 to 14 days. The app gives you full control with 3 independent programs and up to 8 start times per day.
Built for the toughest professional conditions, the TBOS-BT1LT is housed in a vandal-proof case and features a fully potted, IP-68 waterproof rating.. It operates for over a year on a single 9-volt alkaline battery and pairs with the Rain Bird TBOS Potted Latching Solenoid (sold separately) for a complete, wire-free irrigation solution.
