evilpete Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 for Irrigation most people seems to use an IO-Linc or EZFlora For a single zone system, Is there any reason a On/Off module such as a switch Linc (or 2443-222 Micro On/Off Module or InLineLinc Relay ) be wired to toggle power to the 24V Irrigation power supply. The reason I am asking this is cause all I need control is a single zone sprinkler system and the above configuration is cheaper and will fit into a double gang box Link to comment

evilpete Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 If that meets your needs go ahead! Teken Encrypted By: Phoenix Security Solutions I guess I was wondering if I should be concerned about "spikes" from the transformer ( etc ) Link to comment
Brian H Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 The relay model Insteon Modules are designed to control inductive loads so it should not be a problem. Though it may depend on the transformers characteristics when turned On and Off. If there is one of the rare problems. I believe the users added a Snubber across the transformer. Link to comment

I've seen too many horror stories... Link to comment
