4.2 Weather Sensors
Weather Sensor Setup tells the LXME2 controller what types of weather sensors are used by your
irrigation system.
Weather sensors are not required for the LXME2 controller, but they increase functionality by
allowing irrigation control based on changing weather conditions. Follow the steps below if you
have a local weather sensor installed in your system.
The LXME2 supports 1 local weather sensor connected to the base module (BCM or PSM).

Settling time is how long a weather condition must last before the controller takes action. For example, if a
freeze sensor has a 5 minute settling time then the temperature would have to remain below the sensor’s
threshold set point for 5 minutes before irrigation is paused. Settling time can be set for immediate (0
seconds) or up to 10 minutes long.
