Missing parts

Updated by user Jul 15, 2026

There was no INTERACTION with Rain Bird. No one will talk to you.

I am returning the products to Lowe’s. They can deal with you.

Original review Jul 13, 2026

I could never get through on your idiotic system. It should not be called customer service. There was none.

Preferred solution: I would like to actually speak to someone in tech customer service . I have to drive 100 miles to return the sprinklers to Lowe’s when a part costing less than $1.00 would make it be brand new

User's recommendation: Buy a different brand

ST8 2.0 won't connect to internet

AI Highlights
  • - ST8 2.0 won't connect to internet.
  • - It stalls at Validating security token; LEDs flash green and red; PIN, SSID, and WiFi password are correct.

Subject line says it all... ST8 2.0 won't connect to internet

the ST8 connect through the app on my android

it has the green & red flashing LED

it has the correct PIN

it has the correct SSID

it has the correct WiFi password (I tested it with another device...)

it just sits there displaying 'Validating security token...'

I know the network connection is strong (there is a WiFi repeater right next to the ST8 that other devices work fine with...)

Pros:
  • Nice design
Cons:
  • Functional junk

Preferred solution: human support

User's recommendation: Rainbird's customer support is NOT good... the 800-724-**** just loops the menu, no way to talk to a support person
