DESCRIPTION
What it is
The Rain Bird ESP-BAT-BT is a battery-powered irrigation controller for sites with no mains power. It fits inside a valve box and runs 1, 2, 4 or 6 zones. You set it up and control it from your phone over Bluetooth, using the free Rain Bird 2.0 app.
How it works
Four AA batteries power the controller for up to 5 years. Each zone opens one valve fitted with a Rain Bird 9V DC latching solenoid. You set watering times in the app, and the controller then runs on its own, with no Wi-Fi or mains needed. Your programme is kept when you change the batteries.
Why it works well
- No mains power needed. It suits allotments, front gardens and valve boxes far from the house.
- Waterproof to IP68. It can sit in a valve box, even if the box floods.
- Four programmes, eight start times each. You can water lawns, beds and pots on different schedules.
- Saves water. Monthly seasonal adjust (0–200%), Cycle and Soak, a rain delay of up to 14 days, and a direct connection for the Rain Bird RSD-BEx rain sensor.
- Easy to manage. You can share the controller with others, protect it with a PIN, get low-battery alerts, and back up and restore programmes.
Specification
- Zones: 1, 2, 4 or 6, plus a master valve or pump output on every model.
- Run times: 7 seconds to 9 hours per zone, or up to 18 hours with seasonal adjust.
- Power: 4 x AA alkaline batteries, not included.
- Battery life: up to 5 years.
- Enclosure: IP68 waterproof.
- Control: Bluetooth, via the Rain Bird 2.0 app for iPhone and Android.
- Size: 142 x 102 x 64mm, 680g with batteries.
Important: which valves will it work with?
It only works with valves fitted with a 9V DC latching solenoid. Our Rain Bird DV 1" 9V DC latching solenoid valve is ready to fit, one per zone. It is not compatible with 24V AC solenoids, such as our 24V AC DV and HV valves. Rain Bird lists it as compatible with DV, DVF, ASVF, PGA, PEB, PESB, EFB-CP, BPE and BPES valves fitted with a latching solenoid. Not sure? Call us on 0333 335 6295.

Helpful on phone and efficient.
Nicely made, works well, good value
Excellent quality. No leak when connected to other Claber fittings
GREAT ADVICE FROM STEVE AND UP AND RUNNING THE SAME DAY.
Quick delivery, for a birthday present so dont know how well it works.
Just installed this and its simple to use with the Apple App, cant wait to see if it comes on tonight.
Wide range of items at fair prices – some site wanted £14 for end stops. This is FAR more reasonable.
Efficient and reasonably priced. A useful change from the usual six-hole type for certain kinds of watering.
Excellent product
I thought I had submitted a report about this but, yes, it is good and doing the job I bought it for, taking water from three or four large water butts to irrigate a polytunnel system of two ground lines feeding two rows of tomato plants. Just what I need.
Decided whilst my lawn was being levelled that I would pop a few sprinkles around the edge of the lawn spraying in. Now i just need the hose pipe ban to finish before I can start to use them.
Perfect for use when i am away in Spain, perfect for my large indoor plants.
This is a great kit, got it delivered quickly and up and running over the weekend just before we go on holiday. Great Kit.
