Blackbird Posted July 25, 2024 Posted July 25, 2024 What do you guys recommend for underground sprinkler control that works with polisy? Thanks
Geddy Posted July 25, 2024 Posted July 25, 2024 I seem to recall recent posts about this...might want to search the forums. However, you might find this news post (blog) from UD informative: https://www.universal-devices.com/drip-drop-stop/ Or maybe this one: https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/43491-sprinkler-controller-irrigation-2024/

Could you move it there please? And thanks for the recommendation.
JTsao Posted July 25, 2024 Posted July 25, 2024 I would recommend Rachio + node server. After setup, it's pretty much autonomous, but can be controlled via a program. I let the Rachio water my yard automatically but manually control a single zone that refills the pool from the eISY.

I'll check it out. Thanks
Techman Posted July 25, 2024 Posted July 25, 2024 @Blackbird Will the Rachio controller and its app work without cloud access and the node server, i.e. local wi-fi only? I'm trying to stay away from devices that are cloud dependent.

Ross Posted July 26, 2024 Posted July 26, 2024 @Blackbird There's a couple of webpages on their site that you might want to read. It appears they offer both versions because they have international customers. However, it's a bit over my head. If you're in the US, either one appears to be fine. Here are the 2 pages: https://opensprinkler.com/product/opensprinkler/ https://opensprinkler.com/announcing-the-first-dc-powered-opensprinkler-v2-3-dc/ Ross

I'm trying to stay away from devices that are cloud dependent. No it's cloud based - I have port 3001 forwarded to the eISY for the Rachio node server. On the positive side, I don't have to develop complex watering algorithm code like I did with the Insteon sprinkler controller, and there's a convenient phone app to control/configure the sprinkler zones.
