Smart Irrigation WiFi Timer/Controller, 8-Zone, EPA WaterSense Certified, Alexa Compatible

The Rain Bird ARC8 App-Based Indoor/Outdoor Smart Irrigation WiFi Timer/Controller is a exceptional device that brings total control of your sprinkler system to the palm of your hand. With its intuitive Rain Bird mobile app, you can easily set, monitor, and adjust watering schedules anywhere in the world. Additionally, you can share control with family members, landscaping, or maintenance professionals for specified time periods.

The ARC8 offers a wide range of features to help you optimize your water usage. It can automatically skip or adjust daily watering based on your postal code, local weather forecast, and historical averages, potentially reducing water usage by up to 30%. It is compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple iOS 8 or greater, and Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) or later, allowing for voice control and integration with smart home systems.

The timer can control up to 8 zones, with 3 individual programs (A, B, C) per zone. Each program can be customized for specific days of the week, odd/even calendar days, or cyclic watering schedules (every 1 to 14 days). You can set up to 4 start times per zone, with run times ranging from 1 minute to 6 hours, and also perform manual watering.

The Seasonal Adjust feature allows you to reduce run times by 5% to 200% on all programs simultaneously or for individual programs, helping you adapt to changing weather conditions. The Watering Delay function can suspend watering for 1 to 14 days and automatically resume once the delay ends.

The ARC8 also provides valuable notifications, informing you of programming changes, valve malfunctions, WiFi network disconnections, incorrect date/time, or possible freezes. This helps you stay informed and take appropriate actions to maintain your irrigation system's optimal performance.

Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, the ARC8 comes pre-installed in a sealed, contractor-grade case for easy mounting. It supports 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n wireless networks and can be powered by a 6' AC power cord or direct-wired. The timer is compatible with most 24 VAC irrigation valves and is certified for UL/cUL, FCC Part 15b, IP24, and EPA WaterSense criteria.
