Jeffrobinson1327 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Considering buying one if these used to use the relays in the back for irrigation control. Can I control this with my HC800 as the director? I assume it'll just connect via cat5(6)?Thank you for any advice here.Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 It will work - using one myself. Yes it's networked like any other controller.I'd check for an i/o extender though (C4-IOX-E- and see what you can get them for.. They aren't very expensive to begin with, there may be some out there for a steal and they're still 100% supported as current gear, vs the MC being considered unsupported legacy.Again, they work right now but aren't being updated anymore and are being limited more and more (you can no longer use them for ZAP since 2.5 for instance) so who knows....

ILoveC4 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Just an FYI....I need to go back and read the memo but I believe it's OS 2.6 (due out before EOY) will not only no longer support the Media Controller, but you WILL NOT BE ABLE TO UPGRADE WITHOUT REMOVING IT FROM YOUR PROJECT.I'd just buy an I/O extender. The Media Controller is going to be a complete paperweight soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
