What's the BONUS? Does this include a RAIN SENSOR? REMOTE? What does the remote control? ON/OFF? Rain Sensor? Neither mentioned in WHAT'S IN THE BOX!

Hi, No, the bonus is not the rain sensor. It is about the USB adapter with which you can program the machine on your computer.

The bonus is the time pod and scheduling software(I would recommend downloading the newest version from toro). This does not include a rain sensor but it does have a connection so one can be added. In the box you will find the timer, power supply, time pod, scheduling program and manual.

Yes, set it for the amount if time you want it to water and just unplug the rain monitor if you don't want it to reduce the amount of water when it rains. It should adjust if the weather is really hot. If not, it's really easy to turn on manually and it will run for whatever time you have set or when you turn it off. I would see if you can find a bracket for the rain gauge to mount onto your gutters. The bracket it comes with is not really easy to mount if your gutters are already in. I love mine though! I live in Eastern Utah where it's hot and doesn't rain much and it worked well enough that my grass was greener, and stayed green even after all my neighbors died.

I agree w/ Kevin Takas. It has electronics inside it which are the controlling parts. If they were to get damaged by weather, the entire thing would not function. So it is not weather resistant, and designed to be operated in a sheltered area.

I have just examined my unit and I would say "no". I don't have the manual handy but although I've used it in the rain I wouldn't expect it to be helped by total immersion.

I haven't used it with a moisture sensor, but even better than that if you connect it to the web as you should, it will pick up the weather from a local weather station and only water when it isn't raining. You can set how long to switch off if it has rained. Much more reliable than a moisture sensor I think! (I love this device by the way)

FG this unit has the capability to control humidity/humidifier you just have to purchase the sensor separly.you can also buy the outside temp semsors they work greate.and you can check and made changes to the unit over the internet.hope this help you out.

Im sorry I don't remember, it had 0 modes after one rain, quit working so I only got to use it a few times and don't remember much about it. If you really need a light for you bike buy something else

This is only the control to turn on/off electronic valves. It doesn't include any wireing from this control to those valves or the valves themselves or any of the pipes and sprinklers for watering.

It does not keep rain out. You have to water proof it yourself with spray-on water proofer. It has two flaps. One for to keep bugs out and one for privacy.It is just not shown in this picture.

Yes, and it gets better than that. For rainy days, you can either add a rain sensor or manually set a rain delay. Unlike simply turning off the system, it will resume program after the prescribed rain delay (in 6 hour increments, IIRC). And yes, manual control on this system cannot be any simpler. Switch to manual and turn on the zone. One of the best upgrades to the house I've made, and for an excellent price I was able to combine two separate systems (front and back yards were done at different times with two different units, pain, this solved that problem as well).

It prevents rain from getting you wet. Alas, it does not prevent the rain from occurring. It is completely waterproof.

Well since its an inside camera. It can't handle NO direct rain, as well as bitter cold, there is no telling what the life will be of the camera. Humidity to temp fluctuations will greatly impact the operation. Inside or outside the IR requires a lot of light changes to switch from day to night. I have one in my garage with windows and can only use the schedule IR otherwise the IR stays on all of the time.

The sensor that comes with this unit is wired. I found it not to work correctly with rain, although I think it sensed low temps OK and switched off the controller. I've had my unit for a couple of years. This year I replaced the wired rain sensor with Rainbird's wireless rain/freeze unit and it now controls and shuts off for rain. Not to say that you won't have a unit that shuts off when it rains. If I saturated the disks myself the wired unit would shut off the controller. However, even in pouring rain (like an inch and hour or more), I'd still find the controller running. This unit isn't exactly designed for the wireless units and so it took a bit of jerry rigging with the common wire etc. to get the replacement wireless to work correctly.

i don't understand the question. it activates when your water timer is set to turn your sprinklers on.

For my unit only one rain sensor can be connected at a time. In my case the sensor will determine if sprinkler system as a whole will come on or not .

Sorry, I don't know. It's still in the box...have not gone camping yet and besides that, I live in the desert where rain is scarce.

Just open the box and quickly remove your mail. I never had problem with rain. Changed batteries 4 times and still the unit worked only "sometimes". Today, FEB 10, the alarm DID NOT go off when the mail was delivered, BUT DID GO OFF when my wife opened the box and took the mail out. What good is that ?
