- In this video, Andy reviews Rain Birds TBOS Series Battery-Operated Bluetooth Controllers.
The TBOS-BT & TBOS-BT-LT 9V battery controllers provide commercial-level irrigation control that you can program with your smartphone via the free Rain Bird mobile app. Eliminate the need to access the valve box and install this controller in highway medians, roundabouts, or anywhere you need irrigation control but do not have AC power.
The vandal-proof case makes it ideal for public or high-foot-traffic areas. With the Rain Bird app, you can create flexible schedules that automatically adjust for the season and have multiple programs and start times.

Great product!
I got a 2 zone controller and it works perfectly.
That is great to hear!
Hi Thanks for the video, We have a Hunter I Core controller two-wire system. The system has 48 zones and each zone has a decoder module. The question I have is "will this valve be able to replace the decoder module if I only wanted to switch over portions of the system"? What is the rough cost of the TBOS and Seloniod?
Yes, you can add this controller to any valve as long as you switch the solenoid to a DC Latching solenoid. Keep in mind that it will then run on its own, not connected to the rest of the system, so be sure to schedule it at a time that doesn’t conflict with the other zones.
Curious: is there a particular problem that this will help you solve? Perhaps that decoder is bad, or not working? Typically, battery operated zones are used to fix wiring issues, or when there is no power available.
Happy to help you troubleshoot or provide additional assistance.
Hi Andy, thank you for the quick response. We have had some decoder failures that caused some strange problems. One decoder failed in a short mode and brought the two wire system down. Another decoder failed energizing the valve solenoid ever 5 seconds on and off with the main controller in the off position.
I was looking for alternative backup options .
Regards Joe
@@josephmercuri2902 2-wire is great if you know how to service it or have a good company who does. I like 2-wire.
Failing short is very common. With the right tools it rather easy to locate the failed device or splice.
Failing “dead” is also common, however, I’ve never seen a decoder fail “half-dead” as you describe. That is really interesting, and makes me wonder if, in fact, it’s the solenoid failing and not the decoder.
Regardless, yes, you can use the TBOS-BT as a temporary fix. Keep a few DC solenoids on hand and you’re good to go.
@@Andy_Humphrey Andy, Thank you for your help Regards Joe
Hello. Thanks for the explanation. I have two doubts. The solenoid is always bought apart, right?
I want to replace one rain bird wp1. Can I reuse the dc solenoid already placed?
Thanks in advance
Yes, if you currently have a DC Latching Solenoid, you can reuse it. This controller is compatible with any DC Solenoid.
@@Andy_Humphrey thanks for the reply. Ordered and installed 😉
Thx. How far can you run DC wiring from the controller to the valves
@paulhansen6270 - The Rain Bird specification for 18 AWG wire is 32ft, and 16 AWG wire 100ft. The is the maximum distance between the TBOS Module and the Solenoid. Hope that helps! ~Andy
