Irrigation

[ttelsal]

Looking to integrate irrigation into my C4 system.

Sounds like Sky-drop is no longer an option.

I understand that C4 have a driver and direct interface.

Would appreciate if some could give me feedback on the C4 interface and other third party solutions that integrate with C4

I recommend rachio iro

Thank you

From your response, I'm assuming it integrates well with C4

Yup. It's a paid driver but setup is easy

I must say, I use the native C4 driver with the solenoids wired in to an IO Extender and I works great.

Yeah we have quite a few dealers installing this along with our scheduler + weather drivers to make their own irrigation system.  Scheduler gives end users time based control over it from their T3 touchscreens

Thanks everybody for your help.

 

In regards to the C4 Driver approach

I understand that the C4 driver requires you to stage each of the zones in turn. My preference is not to stage the zones, as my irrigation system is pump based and has the necessary pressure to do multiple zones at once. Has anybody been able to address this.

Because of this I am leaning toward the Rachio system.
