The Rain Bird ESP-2WIRE is a contractor-ready 50-station irrigation controller that delivers a familiar ESP programming experience while adding the convenience and efficiency of a 2-wire decoder system. Designed for residential and commercial landscapes, the ESP-2WIRE reduces installation time and wire runs while providing robust scheduling and diagnostic tools for fast troubleshooting.

50-station capacity standard—no expansion modules required for full capacity.

Supports up to two independent 2‑wire paths to cover large or divided sites.

Decoder Auto-Address finds and assigns all 2W-1 decoders automatically to stations.

Compatible with standard direct-burial irrigation wire and conventional irrigation wire connectors—no special wire required.

Diagnostic LEDs on the backplane and each 2W-1 decoder simplify troubleshooting and reduce service calls.

Four programs with up to six start times per program for flexible run scheduling across varied landscapes.

One-touch manual watering and Contractor Default™ to save and restore custom schedules quickly.

Seasonal Adjust by program and Permanent Days Off let you fine-tune run times and avoid watering during maintenance or restricted days.

Delay watering up to 14 days and bypass Rain Sensor per station for customized rain response.

Large backlit LCD for clear viewing in low light and direct sun; easy indoor or outdoor installation with preinstalled power cord.

Upgradeable for WiFi remote monitoring and control using the LNK2 WiFi Module (sold separately); internet weather adjustments can reduce water use.

Engineered for installers and maintenance teams, the ESP-2WIRE pairs proven ESP programming with the time-saving benefits of a two‑wire decoder network. Installers can use familiar programming steps after decoder addressing is completed, while property managers benefit from reduced wiring complexity, clear diagnostics, and optional remote monitoring.
