SST600IN Simple-to-Set Indoor Sprinkler/Irrigation System Timer/Controller, 6-Zone/Station (This New/Improved Model Replaces SST600I),Gray/Green

Replaced the previous older version of this controller which had digital push buttons. Had a new lawn installed recently. It was perplexing and difficult to program the auto-runs and two-a-days. Was able to quickly install and program this newer model. Very user friendly! Price was a little higher than I expected. Amazon delivered the next morning, so happy!

Best clock I’ve ever used. Installed for my brothers irrigation system, so easy to set the days and time, love having the indicator lights, has all the functions he needs. So many clocks are hard to read and set, this is so so easy! Wiring it in is a snap.

The unit arrived as scheduled and was well packed. It was heavier thanI expected, because the power transformer is heavier than expected. You need a sturdy outlet. Unfortunatley, it is an old school 24 VAC transformer, so it is heavy. The unit is nearly a direct replacement for our 30+ year old controller....but with a few new features. I decided not to go with a WiFi enabled unit since they are more expensive, and from the reviews it sounds like the WiFi interface are not robust and connections are often dropped. This unit is easy to wire up, and it worked first time. Some other comments: When reviewing the programming, you can visually see what days each zone is turned on. Nice feature . There is no covering door which makes the control more accessible, but they controls are exposed. (We'll see if the rotary knob get sticky in the garage after a few years.) The solenoid control wires go into the bottom of the unit and aren't well protected. I made a 3D printed housing to channel the wires and keep tem protected. Finally, since there is no cover door, there is not an easy place to put the zone watering schedule. Otherwise, this unit is a good replacement sprinkler controller. A good buy for the price point.

Easy to install and operate. However, I have it set to start at 8:00 AM and it always starts at 8:23 instead. Time is set correctly and it keeps time perfectly. I guess I simply have to make adjustments.

Needed to replace my old timer because a lightening power surge blew my timer out. The irrigation company I use wanted to charge me $300 to replace it...NOT! Did my research and found the Rain Bird for $60. Easiest install ever! Took down my old timer and hung the new Rain Bird using the same wiring...BAM! Done in under 20 min! If a 67 year old female can do it...so can you! Best and easiest product to install! Don't let your irrigation company rip you off! Get Rain Bird! You'll be glad you did! Update: Well folks...the installation was a breeze...easy peasy...so it gets 5 stars for that! BUT...after a few weeks, it stopped working. Tried to unplug and re-plug, re-programmed the system to watering EVERY day from watering EVERY OTHER day...no luck! I am so disappointed!!! I have an email to customer service a few days ago...waiting for a response...bummer! Will let you know if they get back to me or not! :( FURTHER UPDATE: By golly... I think I have resolved my "system stopped working" problem!!! My problem was in the PROGRAMMING of the system! I had programmed my system to run "every other day" and when I tried to re-program it to run "every day" I only programmed ONE zone...thinking that it would include ALL the zones...NOT!! You MUST re-program ALL the zone to be exactly alike...that means turning the knob and re-programming EVERY zone and make sure that they are EXACTLY the same. Once I made sure of that...my system is running like clockwork!!! I was able to thatch and re-seed my lawn for the winter and have the system water it every day so the seed won't dry out! Oh Happy Day! So...if your system suddenly doesn't work for some reason...check your programming!!!

My husband could not be happier. He is not tech-savvy, so the simpler something is, the better. This is extremely user-friendly. We replaced an old, complicated unit that came with the home we recently purchased. We live in a climate that gets a decent amount of rain; his favorite feature is the "pause". If you get a lot of rain on any given day, you can put it on pause for a time frame of your choosing. It will automatically begin the normal cycle you have it set on once the allotted "pause" time has elapsed. Super quality, too! Highly recommend!

It was easy to install and program. And I love how easy it is to customize Days and Run Times individually for each zone. The thing I think I like most is the two different Manual Run buttons, one that does all zones and one to do an individual zone. My 30 year old Rainbird didn't have the individual zone option. On the old controller, if I wanted to just run zone 3, I would have to cycle the manual button to zone 3 and when zone 3 finished, I would have to turn the controller off, otherwise, zones 4 and 5 would run. With this new controller, I just have to turn the dial to 3 and hit the button for 1 manual zone. There are two things that I wish were different with the individual zone option. (1) Each time you select an individual zone to run manually, the run time defaults to 10 minutes. I would prefer it default to the same time set for the full automatic option. (2) Lets say I want to run zone 3 manually for 30 minutes. I turn the rotary knob from Auto to 3 and press the button for individual zone then set the zone for 30 minutes and zone 3 runs for 30 minutes. Now I can go eat a ham sandwich and take a nap. But being that I'm old, there is a good chance I will forget to turn the knob back to Auto. My sprinklers are programmed to run Automatically while I'm at work. I might not realize my knob is still set to 3 until the grass starts dying. But even with those two minor issues, it's still 5 Stars for me.

Keep track of the wiring to simplify the install and it will be easy to install. Works well and easy to operate.

Not meant for Europe. It is 110 Volt.

When you buy this product to use in India, you should separately purchase 230VAC to 110V AC step-down adaptor (power supply unit) or a 24VAC Power supply unit which can directly connect to the controller . The Controller in put power is 24V AC . This Product comes with 110VAC 60Hz to 24V AC 60Hz stepdown adapter which will suit for US distribution . This controller having self battery back up feature, in case of power failure the settings / date will not change is an advantage from previous version . Easy to set and user friendly controller .
