About this item

  • With 4 to 22 stations, the ESP-ME3 provides the station count options customers need. Install the same controller on residential and light commercial sites. Add station modules when expanding irrigation without removing or even powering down the controller.
  • Upgrade the ESP-ME3 to a SMART controller by adding the LNK WiFi module and a WR2 rain sensor. The LNK makes programming and monitoring easy through the enhanced Rain Bird app.
  • Configurable to 22 stations with additional 3 or 6 station modules for different sized jobs or future irrigation needs. Comes with power plug and outdoor cabinet for indoor or outdoor installation.
  • Be alerted of system issues including electrical, programming, or high flow (when using a flow sensor) through a red LED and scrolling messages coupled with mobile device alerts when used with the LNK WiFi Module and the Rain Bird app.
  • Large text and symbols make the color-coded dial positions easy to understand. Large 3” back-lit screen is clear to read in dark garages or sheds.


The industry’s most flexible irrigation controller solution that supports flow monitoring, LNK WiFi, and up to 22 stations.

For even greater water monitoring and protection from a broken irrigation system install a flow sensor.

Features

WiFi Connectivity

By simply plugging in a Rain Bird LNK WiFi Module (sold separately), users can access, operate and monitor their irrigation system from anywhere. Internet-based weather information is used to make daily adjustments to the irrigation schedule, saving up to 30% in water.

Flow Monitoring

Compatible with multiple sizes and makes of wired flow sensors for flow monitoring and notifications to save water and protect against property damage.

Bypass Rain Sensor by Station

Bypass the rain sensor for stations under an eave or deck or in a greenhouse for consistent watering.

Seasonal Adjust by Program

Save water by changing the seasonal adjust from 5% to 200% for corrected run times without changing the scheduled times.

One-Touch Watering

With the dial in the AUTO position, just press and hold the right arrow button to start manually watering the current program.

Contractor Default

Simply save a default program and if the original watering schedule is overwritten in error, easily restore it in just two steps.

Programming Recommendation

Rain Bird recommends that the maximum irrigation zone cycle time be less than the time required for runoff to begin and that there be adequate soak time before the next irrigation cycle of that same zone begins again.

Operating Specifications

Station timing: 1 minute to 6 hours

Seasonal Adjust; 5% to 200%

Max operating temperature: 149°F (65°C)

This replaced the exact one we bought when we built our home 9 years ago. I do not know what the life span should be - so I hope this one lasts long enough.

Took about 15 minutes to snap a picture of the wires on my old timer, remove it, and install and wire the new model. Love the battery backup and lighted display on the new model. Easy to program.

Only negative is the modules from older controller do not work in the new controller. Other wise very easy install - direct replacement for old controller. I'm only using 10 zones so had to purchase new 6 zone module to go inside. Entire replacement took less than 30 minutes. (including validation and writing one program).

Doesn't clearly tell you it's only 4 stations and you have to buy modules to expand it

I changed my old rain bird for this one last summer and i love it. It connects to my phone, app is very easy to operate it. I have 11 zones and considering i am a woman, it was super easy to connect all the stuff by myself. Works great!

Product arrived shortly after placing the order. Easy to install and came with a polite note of appreciation from the distributor. I am excited to finally turn the outside water back on and give this a try.

I had a Rainbird ESP-Me without wifi. I bought this unit so I could swap out the panel on my existing ESP-Me. That did NOT work the cable won't fit. However after emailing with Jaimie at SprinklerPartsWholesale I replaced my old Rainbird (box and all) and moved the modules over from my old system to this new one. It works great now. Jamie was great, I'd only buy again from him. Price was awesome and this was a new fully functional unit. The ESP-ME3 is MUCH easier to use than the ESP-Me. Very glad I upgraded!

Pleased with the irrigation controller but I assumed incorrectly the supplier would have enough intelligence to forward me the 240 volt international model rather than the 120 V American model. As I rely on the bore for water I did not have the time to exchange it so had to improvise. Not a problem but inconvenient. It arrived surprisingly quickly just as I was running low on water.
