x10 Irrigation DIY Starter Kit

This is the kit you need to get started with your irrigation software control system (control anything else too). It includes the PC software and the hardware required to set up the initial control system for 1 watering zone valve (additional valves can be ordered as extender kit):

• The ActiveHome Pro Software runs on your PC and provides user friendly screens for organizing rooms and general functions, including timers and sensor reaction procedures. Irrigation control is only a small part of what you can do - control anything else in your home, including blinds and shades! You then download your settings via USB to the microprocessor module and disconnect when done. You can also control irrigation zone directly from the screen, anywhere in your home, if you prefer.
• The stand-alone microprocessor module stores your software settings via USB, does not require PC to be connected. It issues commands over the powerline to control modules plugged in somewhere else in the home AC system. It is typically located near a PC so it can be easily adjusted and re-programmed by the ActiveHome Software.
• The stand-alone microprocessor module also contains a radio receiver that accepts and re-transmits commands from external remote controls, including coffee table and wall mount wireless types (note the receiving antenna on far left of picture). Remote control radio signals travel easily through walls.
• It also includes 1 zone interface module, solenoid valve (1/2" inlet/outlet, removeable filter screen), and power supply. Additional zone valves and control modules are purchased separately as required. The low voltage DC control power is safe for for children and adults, and you do not need to be an electrician to install this system.
