AWESOME tutorial! I set up my Rainbird ESP-ME3 step by step following your guidance for 6 zones & it's running perfectly! I can't thank you enough for taking the time to create this amazing video! So grateful to you & so is my 1 ½ acres of beautiful green sod! 💚 🌱👏😊

Thanks. Nice video, nice step by step guidance. A sprinkler controller like this, is the one that Iam looking for with 4-6 zones

Everybody and their brother has a video showing how to plug in the zone wires, but there are very few videos showing how to connect the power supply to the controller. You also skipped right over that (as well as how to carefully remove the previous unit, which I was looking for, too).

I think I accidentally connected one of my watering zones to MV. Do you know if that would fry something for that zone? I only had 2 zones to begin with and I was able to get the first one working but the second one (which I think is the one I briefly connected to MV) isn't doing anything when I connect it to the VT (the test node). None of the other wires that used to be connected to my old controller do anything either.

I want this program to run 2 or more station at the same time, do you have any solution?

[@mrprfct7069]

You missed cycles under water days

Hey Pat, just had my ME3 installed and was trying to make all zones working in the same time. I just came to know from you that it is just one zone working at time before it switches to the next one. any thought on how can this be done if i want them all to woking together? thank a lot.

[@KeroncongDinihaRi]

Same here, you have solution?

Then use a deff method

[@cassac103]

it can't be done

[@mahmudhasan4801]

Thanks

How do you install the wireless rain sensor to this?

[@cassac103]

why would you run each zone for only 6 minutes and repeat for 3? 4? more hours? Why not each zone for 25 minutes and run through a cycle once?

It actually saves water. If you leave the water on for a long time you don't give it a chance to soak in and will cause a runoff
