Q: What specifically is the difference on the new version? (i.e. st8i-wifi vs. st8i-2.0)

I don’t know the difference between the two

Q: I can not reach the timer anymore and the wifi light is solid red. cant reach rainbird either and this error is not in the manual. anyone ?

1) If your mobile device password (in the Rainbird app) does not match the Rainbird cloud server password it won't connect. Try resetting the PW. 2) Remove front cover of the Rainbird Controller then depress the wifi reset button (lower left module). That will reboot the wifi and it should start blinking green again. 3) If that doesn't restore operation I would reboot your system wifi router in the house (unplug for 10 secs). 4) If that doesn't work look at what channel your house wifi is operating on. Too much congestion on a channel can interfere with the RainBird wifi's ability to communicate with your house wifi. There are 11 channels on 2.4GHZ. I experience some connection difficulties if I am out in the back yard a distance away from the controller box. Sometimes just closing all apps on my phone helps. It gets finicky but its nice to turn on a zone without having to manually open a valve.

Q: This product probably won't work if it's installed in my detached garage, which wouldn't get the wifi signal from my house. Correct?

It will still look manually, not remotely. Even if you have wifi, you may experience what I did, which was extreme difficulty connecting it to my devices. It ended up eventually it connected to my iphone, and nothing else. I own an orbit, for another area, and very happy with it, as it connected to all my devices, my two ipads, and my iphone. I got this as it was small and needed a small controller for my space. Don't know what your issue with wifi is, but range extenders work in my house to send my wifi signal to al remote areas.
