Orbit 57865 Outdoor Battery-Powered Sprinkler Controller | Wireless Irrigation Timer

Smart, Wire-Free Irrigation Control for Your Yard

Meet the Orbit 57865 Outdoor Battery-Powered Water Sprinkler Controller, a compact timer designed for easy installation directly onto the mainline or as part of a multi-valve manifold. It eliminates the need for sprinkler wires, offering a modern, plug-and-go experience for your garden irrigation.

This timer supports up to four valve solenoids, giving you the flexibility to manage multiple zones with a single device. Create two independent watering schedules, each with up to four start times, so you can fine-tune when and how long your lawn and beds receive water. The cycle-and-soak windows encourage deeper soil infiltration and balanced moisture without overwatering.

Practical and intuitive, the unit stacks runtimes to avoid overlapping starts, helping you cover larger areas without complicated programming. A manual run option lets you test a single zone, a subset, or the entire system, which is ideal for spot-checks or supplemental watering on hot days.
