x10 for valve controls

[rrands]

Hey, MarkC!

I did look at that, and it seems interesting - what made me nervous is that it does not seem like I would have much control over it - it has built-in functions that you are limited to, from what I could see (couldn't find very good docs on it, though.) Do you have any more info on it, by chance?

Personally, I came across so many threads in research for this that I can't believe that someone doesn't make something pre-configured to do what I am after. I did get a solution, but I would have liked something more plug-n-play.


Thanks for the help!

has an X10 pool controller that with do the 24 volt switching for you. This thing looks like it does quite a bit and it is only a little over $100

Hey Ben, Sorry if I hit a nerve. I was just answering a question with some info. that I had found on the web regarding X10 controllers. I am in agreement with you regarding simple pool controls. I only use an X10 control to turn on my pool light from inside the house. All my other functions are the mechanical timer devices. My pool is pretty simple no spa. I also go low tech to dose my chlorine either with a floater when my stabilizer levels are low enough or manually.

Try the compool LX120/2T valve controller. It sounds like just what you are looking for.
