Concise Title: Rain-Bird ESPME3 Indoor Outdoor Lawn Irrigation Controller

The ESP-ME3 irrigation controller solution offers the industry's most flexible features, including flow monitoring, LNK WiFi connectivity, and support for up to 22 stations. For even greater water monitoring and protection against a broken irrigation system, users can install a flow sensor.

Key features of the ESP-ME3 include:

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: The controller is compatible with multiple sizes and makes of wired flow sensors, allowing for flow monitoring and notifications to save water and protect against property damage.

Bypass Rain Sensor by Station: The rain sensor can be bypassed for stations under an eave, deck, or in a greenhouse, ensuring consistent watering.

Seasonal Adjust by Program: Water savings can be achieved by changing the seasonal adjust from 5% to 200% for corrected run times without altering the scheduled times.

One-Touch Watering: With the dial in the AUTO position, users can simply press and hold the right arrow button to start manually watering the current program.

Contractor Default: A default program can be saved, and if the original watering schedule is overwritten in error, it can be easily restored 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 the 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)

With 4 to 22 stations, the ESP-ME3 provides the station count options customers need, allowing the same controller to be installed on residential and light commercial sites. Additional station modules can be added when expanding the irrigation system without the need to remove or power down the controller.

The ESP-ME3 can be upgraded 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.

The controller can be configured for up to 22 stations with additional 3 or 6 station modules, accommodating different sized jobs or future irrigation needs. It comes with a power plug and an outdoor cabinet for indoor or outdoor installation.

Users can receive alerts for system issues, including electrical, programming, or high flow (when using a flow sensor), through a red LED, scrolling messages, and mobile device alerts when used with the LNK WiFi Module and the Rain Bird app.

The large text and symbols on the color-coded dial positions make the controller easy to understand, and the large 3" back-lit screen ensures clear readability even in dark garages or sheds.
