outdoor weather-based irrigation controller. Two ESP-SMTe
models are available that can be expanded up to 22 sta-
tions by adding optional station modules:

The Intelligent Use of Water®
We believe it is our responsibility to develop products that
use water efficiently.
ESP-SMTe Controller Features
The ESP-SMTe has two programming mode options that
make watering adjustments based on inputs from the
weather sensor.
Simple Smart Mode
In Simple Smart mode, the ESP-SMTe acts like a tradi-
tional time-based controller. Watering is scheduled on
specific days, with fixed start times and run times. Auto-
matic adjustments are made to run times based on current
weather conditions.
Advanced ET Mode
In Advanced ET mode, the ESP-SMTe uses state of the
art technology to determine water needs for each zone
to ensure optimal landscape health with minimal water
usage. Advanced mode will change the irrigation schedule
daily based on water needs.
