Technical features of WiFi LNK module

The LNK WiFi module is designed to connect directly to the accessory port on Rain Bird ESP-Me, ESP-RZXe, or ESP-TM2 irrigation controllers.

The connector interface shall have adequate mechanical strength to prevent accidental disconnection during normal use and to simplify insertion and removal by the user without the use of tools.

The WiFi LN K module supports direct WiFi communication to a mobile device via a WiFi access point (hotspot) from the WiFi LNK module or via a LAN connection from a WiFi router. When the LNK WiFi module is turned on, the internal WiFi access point (hotspot) of the LNK WiFi module is automatically enabled if no LAN connection is available.

The LNK WiFi module supports network communications over a WiFi network connection.

The LNK WiFi module is equipped with a user-accessible configuration button and a dual green and red LED status indicator.

Press the button for a few moments to activate/deactivate the WiFi access point (hotspot) mode of the LNK WiFi module.

The LNK WiFi module is equipped with a factory reset feature that can be accessed from the button on the device. To perform a factory reset, press and hold the button on the LNK WiFi module for 5 seconds.

The weather report of the mobile app shows the current day and the weather forecast for the next 4 days of the set location.

The source of the weather data is as follows: Europe: ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts)

The mobile app represents the forecasters in tabs that can be organized into groups. The home screen of the mobile app contains all programmers. Users can create additional groups with selected forecasters. Programmer tabs can be manually deleted by the user. Programmer cards on the home screen of the mobile app show an image of the programmer with the name, type, number of supported zones, and interface icons for the Remote, Calendar, Share, and Delete features.

The WiFi LNK module supports server communications by connecting to the server (via polling) at regular intervals.

The communication interval with the server is every 10 seconds.

The server allows mobile apps to trigger push notifications via APNS (Apple Push Notification Service) or GCM (Google Cloud Messaging).

The server disconnects all mobile apps from a WiFi LNK module where a passcode change has been detected

The LNK WiFi module stores a remote passcode in non-volatile memory and reports a passcode change to the server. If a connection to the server is not available at the time of the access code change, the LNK WiFi module will continue to attempt to report the change until the problem is resolved.

The LNK WiFi module does not have built-in surge protection and refers to the electrical surge protection features of the irrigation controller.
