Make sure your lawn and garden plants are watered with a programmable timed sprinkler system that can be set up on your PC and controlled with any INSTEON or X10 controller. The INSTEON/X10 8-Zone Sprinkler Controller is an 8-zone irrigation unit capable of controlling up to eight sprinkler valves either individually or in program sequences in response to single
INSTEON or
X10 command from your PC or a standalone home automation controller. This irrigation controller will work with any standard 24V AC sprinkler system (sold separately), and a free software download is available for easy programming. The Controller requires a
24V AC transformer (sold separately) to power the sprinkler solenoid valves.
While all the basic functions can be programmed manually, there are advanced programming options that you can achieve with the
EZSrve, central automation controller. If you already have a central automation controller or a software package for your INSTEON network that doesn't have the correct parameters to program the advanced functionality of this device, you can download the free
Simplehomenet Utility Suite which works in conjunction with an
INSTEON Powerlinc Controller. (Note: The Simplehomenet Utility does not interface with the INSTEON Powerlinc Modem.)
Note: A
PowerLinc Controller - INSTEON USB Interface is needed for the timer programming.
