Rain Bird TRU6I Program-Based Indoor Irrigation Controller/Timer, WiFi Ready, 6-Zone/Station

Good sprinkler control that is easy to program and install. Very reasonable price.

Works great, easy to install worth the money. Saved a lot of money.

Nice upgrade from the original Rainbird controller our house had installed when we moved into this house. Easy to install and use. Take a picture of the original wire connections before removing the old one and installing this one is much easier as you now have a color coded wiring diagram to go by.

I am told that for some reason these rain bird controllers are fail after a few years. I have no experience there but the house we moved into had a failing rain bird controller. They seem neck and neck with hunter, with hunter having a slight edge in lifespan. However, rain bird offers this one at an advantage - an entry level model with no WiFi at value pricing. That’s what I needed. Installation was quick and easy. Took photographs of the old wiring and moved it all over. NOTE, the outputs on the old unit were 6-1 and this one is 1-6, so the sequence of the leads had to be reversed for me to preserve the number assignments. There are one or two programming variables not present on my old unit that aren’t well explained, but taking a guess here and there seems fine. It’s up and working and the changeover was straight forward.

When the clock quit ticking on my 27 year old RainBird 1260Bi controller I decided to replace it with the current TRU6l model. Given all its solidly positive reviews, I had great expectations. What I discovered was that it would be more of a project and required a lot more head scratching than I anticipated. That was in large part because the guy that installed my old controller left a huge rats nest of unidentified wires inside for me to try to figure out. After doing that the installation of the new controller was pretty straightforward and the result is comparatively very simple and tidy. The TRU6I has much more flexibility and many options that make it easy to switch between different schedules and its controls are well thought out. My only complaint is that the display is hard to read under less than ideal light conditions. I have it in my garage which has very adequate lighting but I still find it necessary to use a lighted magnifying glass when I need to read the display.

I had older rainbird timers in models 306 and 408 for my 3 zones with different run times and days of the week. Both were hard and confusing to setup and both eventually had timer problems. I just got this TRU41, found it very easy to set up after watching the video here and reading the manual. Got it up and running in less than an hour. The only negative is you cannot have different run times per program/zone when you are running different times of the day, unlike the older models. So 6:00 am at 15 minutes must be 15 minutes run time at 6:00pm. You cannot do say 10 minutes at 6:00pm. There is NO run time option for that situation. Boo.

Great product works well.

Great Rain Bird Quality Controller. Easy to control and program. If looking for a WiFi controller, I recommend. FYI, WiFi adapter is sold separate.
