The Rain Bird SST Smart Controller is a sophisticated irrigation system designed for residential use, offering automated and intelligent watering based on local weather conditions. This controller aims to simplify the process of setting up and managing a watering schedule, ensuring optimal water usage for plants while minimizing waste.
The primary function of the Rain Bird SST Smart Controller is to automatically adjust watering times based on historical and current weather data for your specific area. Users set up a watering schedule for the hottest period of the year (typically July or August) and input their zip code. The controller then uses its internal weather database, combined with weather sensors (if attached), to dynamically adjust watering durations throughout the year. This "Smart Logic" feature ensures that plants receive the right amount of water, preventing overwatering during cooler or rainy periods and providing adequate hydration during hot, dry spells.
The controller supports up to 12 zones, allowing for customized watering schedules for different areas of a yard, each with unique watering needs. It can be programmed to water on specific days of the week, or on odd/even days, and allows for multiple watering times per day.
The Rain Bird SST Smart Controller is designed for ease of use, featuring a clear dial and a display screen that guides users through the setup and programming process.
The manual provides troubleshooting guidance for common issues, which can be considered a form of user-level maintenance.
The Rain Bird SST Smart Controller is designed to be a "set it and forget it" solution for irrigation, leveraging intelligent technology to optimize water usage and simplify lawn care for homeowners.
