RainPoint Rain Sensor

The sensor acts as a switch in your irrigation circuit. When it detects a predetermined amount of rainfall, it breaks the electrical connection to your sprinkler controller, effectively pausing any scheduled watering cycles until the sensor dries out.

The settings allow you to choose how much rainfall is required before the system shuts off. You can set it to trigger at 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, or 0.75 inches of rain, giving you control over whether you want to skip watering during a light drizzle or only during a significant downpour.

This is a wired sensor designed to work with most standard 24V irrigation controllers that have a 'sensor' input terminal. It is a universal add-on, but you should verify that your specific controller has a dedicated sensor port before purchasing.

No, the system is fully automated. Once the moisture inside the sensor evaporates, the internal switch resets itself, and your irrigation schedule will resume automatically as programmed.
