  1. 4. Click   and then select Configure. 

  1. 5. In the configuration section, select from our preset options for compatible rain sensors: 
             > RainMate - Tucor's rain sensor option for the NLP 

               > TRB-100 - Tucor's legacy Bucket-style rain sensor 
               > N/O Rain Sensor - basic third-party Switch-style rain sensor, normally open 

               > N/C Rain Sensor - basic third-party Switch-style rain sensor, normally closed 

  1. 6. SelectApply Configuration 

  1. 7. Navigate to    → Irrigation controller → Control 

  1. 8. UnderRain IO dropdown, select the decoder address corresponding to the rain sensor 

  1. 9. UnderRain input type:  select the type that corresponds to your rain sensor 
        (Bucket) = RainMate or TRB  
        (Switch) = N/O or N/C Rain Sensor 

  1. 10. Input the desired Rain threshold (in) only if the (Bucket) input is chosen. 
                This is the minimum accumulation of rainfall required to activate the rain delay) 

  1. 11. Input desired Rain start delay (min) 
         (Bucket) = Rain shutdown time (resets at each tip)  
         (Switch) = Additional extended rain delay (optional)
