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.
Yes, irrigation controllers typically have a manual function, this will allow you to both operate all zones, or each one individually as you please.
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.
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!
Great product, so much cheaper then anywhere else you will find it super happy with sun shower online
Unit is performing as described. The remote operation by smart phone is very convenient but with one qualification. When manually testing stations on occasions and not always, it insists that Station 2 is run before it will allow any other station to be tested. If I try another station first, it reports a pump fault and puts its feet up.
My old controller blew up and this one just plugged straight in. The most difficult part was attaching to the wall as I have a metal shed. Wifi and smart watering works fantastically
Works great. Really easy to set up!!!
Love the quality and love the price
