Battery Powered Controllers FAQs

Can I get away with placing my indoor controller outside?

In rare applications, like on a wall under a well covered patio where the space is 100% dry all the time & not exposed to the sun, an indoor controller will continue to operate without issue. But if you’re not sure, we recommend installing an outdoor model. If something does go wrong with your controller due to water damage or the LCD screen failing from sun exposure, the warranty is voided so it’s not worth the risk.

Can I run my system manually from the controller?

Yes, irrigation controllers typically have a manual function, this will allow you to both operate all zones, or each one individually as you please.

Will an irrigation controller operate all zones at once, or one at a time?

Domestic irrigation controllers will always operate zones one at a time. Even if you try to operate 2 to come on at the same time, the controller will automatically delay the operation of the second zone until after the first zone has finished running.

Do I need a rain sensor?

In some states a rain sensor is mandatory, but regardless it’s something you should include in your irrigation system. Having your system turn on in the middle of a day of rain is not only embarrassing, it’s a terrible waste of water & the overwatering is bad for your garden!

Poor documentation, season adjust settings not found.

I bought a Toro Tempus DC LCD 2-station controller to replace a Toro DDCWP-2 controller that had failed and no longer available. The manual in the box had very little information, saying the new model offered Bluetooth to connect to one's phone after a Toro app had been installed, but said it could nevertheless be programmed without Bluetooth. I doubt that. I was unable to find the season adjust function. How long before the battery needed replacing is not stated.

I then installed the Toro app on my phone and paired with the controller, but have still to work out how to program it fully. A technological fail as far as I am concerned.
