Orbit 57594 Easy Dial 4-Station Indoor Sprinkler Controller, Green

Orbit 57594 Easy Dial 4-Station Indoor Sprinkler Controller

Meet the Orbit 57594 Easy Dial, a green-housed controller designed for reliable irrigation inside your home or garage. It manages 24 VAC sprinkler and drip systems with up to six zones, delivering a straightforward, tactile setup through physical dials and buttons—no apps or Wi‑Fi required. This compact unit is ideal for dry, indoor spaces and can be paired with an Orbit outdoor cabinet for weather-exposed locations if outdoor installation is needed.

Two independent programs give you flexible scheduling options for different yard areas. Program A and Program B each offer four start times, enabling cycle-and-soak patterns that help water infiltrate soil more evenly. The controller automatically stacks overlapping runtimes so that only one valve runs at a time, helping to avoid run‑on and conserve water. A Budget dial lets you scale all runtimes proportionally from 10% to 200% without reprogramming every station.

The Orbit Easy Dial also includes practical controls for daily use. Manual Run Mode lets you test a single zone or multiple zones for a set duration, while Rain Delay allows you to pause watering after rainfall. For enhanced automation, there is a relay switch option to add a rain and freeze sensor (sold separately). Note that this model does not support pump start relay operation.
