Rain BirdSST1200OUT Simple-to-Set Indoor/Outdoor Sprinkler/Irrigation Timer/Controller, 12-Zone/Station (this New/Improved Model Replaces SST1200O),Gray/Green

This is an ideal sprinkler controller. It has all the features that I need to replace my old broken sprinkler controller. It can be hard-wired or directly plugged into a receptacle; it has up to 12 sprinkler zones, it's fairly easy to program, it offers several programming options to choose from, the LCD read-out is clear, and the unit appears to accommodate a few wall mounting and electrical wiring options. In addition, this sprinkler has a battery back-up, it has a connection for a rain sensor, and it has a means for adding a small lock.

Bought this for a business system with 12 zones, works flawlessly, and easy to install and set up.

The gold standard. So easy to use and setup. Intuitive manual controls that I hope the company never changes. Not the cheapest but the best and have never had an issue after 10 years. I had another that came with my first house that was over 20 years old that still worked fine. I have the indoor and the outdoor version.

Relatively easy to install but did have a pro electrician check unit due to failure to turn on . (Loose wire.. our fault) unit works well but the digital display is difficult to read. I need to use a flashlight and magnifying glass!! Once programmed no problems.Excellent customer service and support! Hope this one last as long as my old non digital unit!

Great product! Super easy install and very basic operation. My Hunter Pro-C stopped working and I decided I didn’t want the hassle of a wifi “smart” unit. The basic old school design of this controller is exactly what I was looking for! Shoutout to Rain Bird for having a non-wifi controller option. A+

Easy installation to replace an earlier version of this one. The old one's rain detector wouldn't work, so it would turn on the sprinklers even during or after it rained. Tested it this morning! Yeah! It works now.

Controller was very affordable and installed with little effort. Programming is a little more effort than it seems like it should have been. If I were to purchase again I would get a unit with wifi so I could use my phone or laptop to program and control. But, really, how often do you need to program your sprinkler controller?One big tip, others complained about having to set the date and time for each zone. Then, if you change the length of time on a lower numbered zone, you had to manually change the start time for all the following zones. Not true. Set all the zones for the same exact start time and the zones will run sequentially regardless of watering time.About 3 months in and everything works great. Would 100% purchase again.

I purchased this item in 2020. In 2022, after working flawlessly for more than a year, it unexpectedly stopped sending electricity to the zones in my system precisely after I had plugged parts of my lawn and needed watering regularly. I did the troubleshooting and used online resources initially without success. So, I called Rainbird, expecting the usual recordings, run around, etc. I was pleasantly surprised. Not only did Rainbird have online support, but they have actual HUMAN BEINGS who are intelligent and helpful. On the first call it started raining outside. The agent advised calling after it stopped raining. So I did. The second agent was polite, but unfortunately she could not solve the problem. So they were going to send me an entirely new unit. GREAT. I then received a call from a "supervisor" who identified himself as Angel. He went through every item on the controller, literally EVERYTHING. When he discovered I had no wires hooked into the white outlets for power, he said the controller could not have been working. But it DID for more than a year. He suggested I disconnect the white wires I had plugged into the rain sensor and place them into the white holes. I did so, and the controller again began working perfectly. I would estimate I took up about a half hour or more of time and frankly part of the problem was my attitude. The product is EASY to install, works flawlessly when hooked up correctly and for the price the customer support is unbelievable. Rainbird, I am a satisfied customer and will continue to buy your products.
