Rain Bird ESP-TM2 4-Zone Irrigation Controller, Upgradeable to WiFi and Water-Saving

The Rain Bird ESP-TM2 is a durable, easy-to-use 4-zone irrigation controller that saves water and can be upgraded to WiFi with a separate LNK module.

The ESP-TM2 is designed for homeowners who want a straightforward, reliable way to schedule and manage automatic watering. It builds on Rain Bird’s water-saving experience, offering three independently programmable programs, multiple start times, and features that reduce manual adjustments. The unit is suitable for both indoor and outdoor mounting and includes a factory-installed outdoor-rated power cord for fast installation.

How does the ESP-TM2 simplify daily irrigation scheduling?

The controller’s Extra Simple Programming interface walks you through set up in three clear steps, so you can create a full schedule quickly. A large back-lit LCD improves visibility in bright daylight and at night, reducing input errors and guesswork.

• 3 separate programs (A, B, C) for different landscape needs
• Up to 4 start times per program for staggered watering
• Simple three-step scheduling for fast setup

What water-saving and advanced features are included?

The ESP-TM2 includes practical functions that help avoid unnecessary watering without complicated controls. It supports Delay Watering, a Contractor Default setting to quickly restore custom schedules, and uses internet-based weather adjustments when paired with the optional WiFi module.

• Contractor Default to save and restore your preferred program quickly
• Optional weather-based daily adjustments with LNK WiFi Module (sold separately)

Can I add WiFi and remote control later?

Yes — the ESP-TM2 is upgrade-ready. If you decide you want remote monitoring and automated weather adjustments, you only need to plug in Rain Bird’s LNK WiFi Module (sold separately) without replacing the controller.

• WiFi capability via Rain Bird LNK Module (not included)
• Remote access, scheduling, and monitoring once the module is installed
