Smart Irrigation Conversion Kit for ESPME to ESPME3 with WiFi

Upgrade Your Existing ESPME to an ESPME3 with WiFi: A Seamless Transition

With this upgrade kit, you can easily transform your existing ESPME controller into an ESPME3 with WiFi capabilities. The kit includes everything necessary for the conversion, such as the new larger ribbon cable and the backplane assembly that it plugs into. The panel alone cannot be directly connected to your existing ribbon cable due to the different pin configuration, which is why the new ribbon cable and backplane assembly are required.

Replacing the backplane assembly is a straightforward process, involving the removal of only 4 screws, swapping out the old with the new, and then replacing the 4 screws. The best part is that the station wiring does not need to be removed from the modules; simply unlock the modules and slide them downwards.

This upgrade kit saves you a significant amount of time and effort compared to the alternative of removing the entire controller, electrical, and station wiring. The convenience and efficiency of this solution make it an attractive option for upgrading your irrigation system.

When the ESP-ME3 is installed with Rain Bird's optional LNK WiFi module, users can manage their irrigation through Rain Bird's free mobile app. However, the ESP-ME3 offers new app features that are not available with any of the company's other residential and light commercial controllers.

"The ESP-ME3 takes our existing WiFi functionality to a new level," Harris said. "With this controller, users can enjoy faster app speeds; advanced flow sensing; Cycle+Soak programming for more efficient watering on slopes and compacted soils; and improved manual watering options."

The ESP-ME3 also features a larger, backlit display, making it easier to read in dark or dimly lit environments. The dial-based control panel aligns with Rain Bird's other "ESP" controllers, but with fewer dial positions for simpler and faster programming.

"When we began developing the ESP-ME3, our goal was to make it the most versatile controller in its class with features our competitors simply cannot offer," Harris said. "When contractors, distributors and specifiers look at the ESP-ME3, we want them to view it as a whole solution that answers the needs of more customers than any other residential or light commercial controller on the market."

Remember, this is a genuine OEM Rain Bird product, ensuring the highest quality and compatibility with your existing irrigation system. Upgrade your ESPME to the advanced ESPME3 with WiFi and unlock a world of new features and benefits for your home or commercial irrigation needs.
