The Rain Bird® Residential Irrigation System WiFi Module

What It Offers

The LNK™ WiFi Module can be used with the residential and light commercial Rain Bird controllers. The module works as an on-site remote, which provides total control of the system even while you’re off-site via a Wi-Fi connection. In addition to off-site management, the module provides real-time alerts to what’s going on with the system and advanced water management tools designed to reduce water waste. For example, the system uses weather updates that will change the irrigation schedule accordingly. These changes will target the best watering times and can save up to 30% more water. It will also send a warning when freezing conditions are anticipated so the user can take necessary steps to avoid burst lines.

How to Use It

The module is designed to work with homeowners’ already-installed controllers so there’s no change in what they are used to. Users can install the intuitive app on their smartphone or tablet. They can open the app to control the system from off-site or set up automatic notifications for real-time alerts. The app also provides built-in troubleshooting options and will make any needed service calls easier by telling the technician precisely what’s wrong with the system.
