Will the ISY-26 work with the EZRain irrigation controller? http://www.smarthome.com/31270.html

 

Are there any limitations I should be aware of? Should I be considering another irrigation controller?

 

Thanks,

Kelly

Kelly,

 

It should work.

 

Limitations:

ISY cannot program EZRain's internal programs. You will have to use ISY for timers/schedules

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Michel,

 

If a user can program the EZRain's internal timer programs by some other means, can the ISY then call those programs as necessary rather than completely relying on its own timers/schedules to operate the EZRain?

 

Thanks,

Hello d_l,

 

You can use the timers in EZRain but the only problem is that ISY does NOT hear EZRain's change of state and thus your ISY status will not be in synch with the actual EZRain. Of course, the Query at 3:00 AM will make them in synch again.

 

In short, if you don't care whether or not ISY/EZRain states are in synch, and if you don't have any other conflicting programs, then you should be OK.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Are there any other irrigation controllers that work with the ISY-26 and offer more functionality?

Hi,

 

Unfortunately, not at the moment.

I have been using EZ rain and ISY 99 for about 6 months without a problem.
