## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work with the esp-me controller?**
A: Yes.

https://youtu.be/vmFNxkuVjbU

**Q: Can you program the shutoff time or is it always 72 hours?  I see answers saying the shutoff time is programmable but the doc indicates it is fixed.**
A: If you set X only then it will stay off until the sponge in the transmitter gets dry.  If you see X 72 then it will stay off starting with the rain and then turn on after 72 hrs.

**Q: My sprinkler system will not turn on since installing the rain sensor. What did i do wrong or How can I turn off the rain sensor?**
A: There are two ways the controller works to prevent watering.  1. Seasonal adjustment which uses the local forecast. 2. Rain gauge 
My system was not watering because the local forecast called for rain but I was not getting any rain.  I disabled the season adjustment to resolve this. The rain gauge will show how much water the lawn actually received. I brought my sensor in the house to make sure it was dry. Once dry I placed the sensor back in the yard. It has been working correctly.

**Q: Is this compatible with the rainbird st8i-wifi smart controller?**
A: According to rainbird's website - Suitable for use with Rain Bird and competitor 24VAC irrigation controllers.  NOTE: Not compatible with Rain Bird ESP-SMT, ESP-SMTe, SST600s or SST1200s smart controllers

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by A***N on 1 March 2025*

Works great. I have this panel, wifi module and rain sensor installed. Very easy installation, the build quality is very good. The Rainbird app is OK. This panel does not have the huge power adapter which is a big plus for use outside, the power module is embedded in this panel box. I hope they enhance the Rainbird app to match competitors. For the controller itself it is solid and stable, better than competitors. I believe it will run free of problem for many years.
