Rain Bird introduces a Bluetooth version of the popular TBOS II 9v battery controller. The biggest advantage is operating/setting the controller via a smartphone instead of a radio-controlled operation, making this controller very easy to use and easily accessible. The new Bluetooth TBOS II can be installed in any location where no power is available and works with a 9v coil. The TBOS II is IP68 waterproof and has a robust, vandal-resistant housing. The new unit is fully backwards compatible with existing TBOS II installations and can also work with the existing radio module.

The software for the new Bluetooth TBOS II is available for free for Apple and Android smartphones, and is already included in the Rain Bird app that already exists for the LNK Wifi controllers. This app has been updated to integrate the new TBOS II BT.
