Will my wired rain sensor work with this unit, or is it only compatible for wireless?

Certainly it will... there is a two-wire port for an external sensor, and you either attach the wired sensor or the wires from the wireless sensor's receiver.

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.

Does your wired rain sensor you are using mearsure Temperature and Solar Radiation? If not, you are not using all the functions of the Toro 53794 that give you the correct water amount. With the use of the Xtra Smart Wireless Weather Sensor my water bill was cut almost one-third paying for itself in 1 year.

These devices are designed for a WIRED environment. This will NOT work wirelessly.

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.

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

I contacted my home security company to get a list of sensors that are compatible with my existing security system. This one was one of those in the list. I would suggest you to do the same.

I don't know. I use mine indoors. While the receiver might function at cold temperatures, I would not want it located where it could be exposed to rain. The Etekcity web site shows a tab for specifications but I was unable to pull up anything. There is a Canadian firm, whose identity I do not recall, which supplies industrial remotes with a very long range. The receivers are not plug-ins, but have to be hard-wired into a box appropriate to the location.

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.

It is wireless. More lead can be purchased to get the transmitter closer to the receiver if the signal is too weak. I do not see why it would not work. Just have to make sure that you keep the least obstructed path for the signal to travel between the transmitter and the receiver.

This does not have wifi (wireless) capability. This works by outputting a open or closed contact based on the resistance between two input pins. You could I assume create a wireless temperature sensor using a temperature probe and a controller with a wireless interface - say a Arduino or Raspberry PI for example. However, you would also have to (I assume) provide a wireless relay control circuit - by the time you have done all that you are better off just using a controller (Arduino or Raspberry PI). If the point is that the temperature being sensed is in an adverse environment (remote?) that also complicates issues. So, the short answer is I don't think so, wrong device for the job.

This product is a good wire sensor.. Work a lot better then the wireless. And yes u can ha e it in the utility room

Yes I have 3 of them mounted outside, and it rains all the time there. You will still need to run power to it, but the video is transmitted wirelessly.

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

No. It is not a wireless unit. It is for connecting things using USB cables.

You need to buy the Vantage View Weather Station, which includes this receiver and the sensor suite which transmits temperature, rain, wind, etc. from outdoors an sends it to this receiver. This stand alone receiver only will work if you have the outdoor sensor suite sending it signals (except of course for indoor temp/humidity). Hope this helps.

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.

I am sorry I do not know. I use the ESP-ME Rain Bird Controller. Communication takes place between the WRS-RC and the ESP-ME units. Talk to Rain Bird....Jerry

only wired....no wireless capability with this product....very easy to install
