Our take
I've used Rain Bird controllers for years, and the ESPLXME2 lives up to the reputation. It's solidly built and the modular design lets me add stations as needed. Programming is straightforward once you get used to the interface. The price is steep, but you're paying for reliability and expandability. One downside is that it doesn't include Wi-Fi out of the box—you need to buy a separate module. Also, the display is basic. For a large property, this controller is a workhorse, but casual users may find it overkill.
