The controller is the most important element of the automatic irrigation system. With its help, we can control the irrigation zones, set the irrigation time and the irrigation frequency. Its types include the simplest tap controller or even the most complex industrial controller. We can distinguish several categories, network or battery-powered, with a fixed number of zones or expandable, indoor or outdoor design, manually programmable or smart controller (controller connected to the Internet). The controller's task is to open or close the solenoid valves, process the signals from the sensors, or even start the pump based on the set programs.

The Rain I-Dial product line is an easy-to-programmable controller designed specifically for small gardens, with all the important functions. A highly reliable and long-term stable product that provides balanced performance. This controller type is available in mains or battery-powered, indoor and outdoor versions, and in 4, 6 or 8 zone versions. Its operation is extremely simple, thanks to its clear interface, everyone can easily understand how to set the programs, start or even stop irrigation. The mains controller does not lose the set programs in the event of a power outage, thanks to 2 1.5 V AA alkaline batteries (not included). Rain controllers follow the company's philosophy, which have easy 3-step programming:

1. The beginning of irrigation,
2. The duration of irrigation,
3. Repetition of irrigation.

The controller can be connected to a rain sensor that is closed in the default state and can also start a pump and a master valve. This controller has 4 programs (A, B, C and D) with 4 independent start times (1 per program). The watering days can be freely selected, set to any day of the week, select an individual day or repeat cycles up to 19 days. The run time of each zone can be adjusted between 1 minute and 4 hours in 1 minute increments. The watering duration can be adjusted in 10% increments to suit the season (between 10%-200%). The I-Dial controllers are equipped with a wide LCD display with backlight, which displays the next watering time and the battery level.
