Does this have a rain sensor that stops the watering when it rains

No it does not, wish it did as we have been on trips & it rained. Had 2 call neighbor 2 shut off sprinkler.

It is not included, it has the connection & function, but the sensor which needs to be installed outdoor for sensing rain, needs to be purchased separately, not aware of its cost, I guess about $30-40.

First glance, didn't see a rain sensor connection, but the manual does mention that one is available and can be connected. I don't have one.

Yes it does. Once the barrel is full pull out the center filtering device and it does not allow water to go through the tube to the rain barrel, but straight down and out the gutter. Or as referenced in the other comments pull off the hose and install the end caps.

The rain delay is manual. While in AUTO you press the + button to delay and turn to OFF and back to AUTO to resume. There is no sensor so if you're using the Orbit while out of town, it will run during the rain. With this said, it has kept my Chicago area garden alive through several out of town trips.

Yes, it does. The one thing about this unit to remember though is that you can't have, say, the waterfall AND the body sprayers on at the same time. It would just take too much pressure.

No. This device is just an inline solenoid with a timer. You will have to install a small pressure reducing device behind the Raindrip for it to work properly with a drip system.

As Mr. Levinson already noted, it would best be described as "rain sensor ready" - sensor not included.When I bought mine I was looking for a standard 9001D. This version cost less so the sensor connection was an added bonus.

It controls all 6 stations ("controllers/pumps") on my system. Two program levels: 1. Stations 1-4 cover my lawn and then 2. Station 5 and 6 for drip system coverage. I am not using the "rain" feature for disabling the programming when it rains. I hope this answers your question...spec's answer a majority of questions, please read their specifications for more details.

No not at all. Very simple setup. You can add a rain sensor. I bought it for the price. Perhaps in the future they'll do a firmware update, but I wouldn't count on it. Try Cyber-rain. www.cyber-rain.com, but it will be expensive. http://www.cyber-rain.com/residential-irrigation-smart-controller-products.html

no it does not it has a screw on plug on the bottom that from time to time the system will let you know the water level is full and it will shut off the unit and you will have to drain the system, the other thing you can do is to place a drain line and avoid the hassle all together.

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 .

Hi Curtis. Yes it actually does have a self watering feature but, it is hard to see. But, if you look at the bowl on the right side with water in it, you can just make out two circles on the left side, the circle at the top (closest to the dog in pic) is where you put a bottle of water upside down. BUT, if you use that feature you have to remove the silver bowl as the water goes into the receptacle under it. Hope this helps.

yes, it does. But the hose is very short, was a dislike for me. And a week later it doesn't work very well. Not water fountain at all.

The GB does have a sensor. It does not pop up from leaves. The door sensor may need an adjustment.

Yes it does. Once it reaches the set pressure it turns off. Turns back on when pressure drops.

Yes it has an on/off switch. But these have proven to be crap. Out of 14 I purchased only 4 are now still working after just a few weeks of rain. On some the on/off switch works backwards. It is real cheep and leaks rain water inside destroying the electrical components. If you value your money don't buy it.
