can you use other types of rain sensors e.g. pope brand

Probably, but you will have to do some hacking. It is a simple two wire connector from the rain sensor and rain sensor open circuits when it detects rain.

No, joyce. Better buy a quality brand then a cheap timer, as recently i brought a Melnor Aqua Timer, it suck Battery to the max 1 week once set new AA battery

I never used rain delay functio but it works so nice that I purchased a second one. The first I purchased is working continously from may 2014 with the same batteries.

No. I wish you could, but it's a pretty basic unit. I was thinking of experimenting with it by putting some translucent tape over the sensor to reduce its sensitivity, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I'll post another review if I do.

Yes, Weatherhawk specifically says "Multiple sensors can be displayed simultaneously on an iPhone and Android device." Based on the type of technology, you could access a number of sensors, and/or multiple locations, using one receiving device. (However, if you plan to use one under water, there are additional accessories required.)

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.

Consider attaching a rain saucer to a barrel, just search for the rainsaucer website. Pretty nifty!

Yes it will work with a wired rain sensor. I reused my existing rain sensor when I replaced my old controller with this one. It worked well.

You can use this as well as a standard controller for Heavy Rain. It is totally up to you, they're compatible.

It shouldn't be a problem. The EXT-R includes an interface that can be connected, if desired, to a rain gauge or other device.

The image appears to be incorrect. However the product Rainbird WR2-RFC is correct as the listing model number and it is the Rain/Freeze Sensor with Controller. Thank you!PlumbersOutpost

I used it with that sensor. It works no problem. There is an option for it on the iPhone app that is used with the RFLKT+.

The unit is designed to monitor temperature, power, and water. It is not designed to incorporate other sensors. There is only one water sensor included and one input in the controller for the water sensor. I don't know if you could tie additional ones into the line for the control unit. The unit is designed for use in one building although you could conceivably locate the water sensor in one area (within 100' of the control unit), a basement for instance, and install the control unit in a garage to monitor the temperature simultaneously.

Go to the following website & you'll find a complete Oregon Scientific base & sensor compatibility chart, hope this helps. http://www.weathershack.com/static/osi-sensor-compatibility-chart.html

Yes you can.... I don't remember if the software shows the voltages of 02 sensors but I shows if they are working or not.

No. Not all are sensors. You may need one for some. It depends on what you are trying to do.

Only thing I can think of is the possible concern of the controller getting a signal from an appliance to activate the wireless "rain sensor"feature. I see this as extremely rare, but manufacturers want to be covered. I have a 9 station in my garage, and a four station in myoutdoor patio and love them both--simple to install, simple to program

The rain sensor is not included, however, you can connect a Normally Closed rain sensor to the Yellow wire loop. Once you connect the rain sensor, the sensor will prevent the controller from irrigating during rain (or when it gets wet). Be sure to follow the rain sensor's installation instructions.
