The house we just moved into has an old three-zone in ground sprinkler system. It has a controller box in the basement that looks like it came from the 80s or early 90s. The name is "James Hardie Irrigation." Turns out based on some web searching that company at some point was bought by Irritrol Link
Just wondering how I can most easily upgrade this system to attach to HS.
I've seen the Rain8 option here, but it looks like that mates to my HomeTroller via RS232 -- and my HomeTroller is on a different floor and relatively far from where the rain controller is. Is this the option most people use?
My network is all Z-wave at this point, and I wonder if I could connect each of the zone wire pairings to a Z-wave relay or something instead.
Just curious to know what others are doing here.
Thanks!
