What are your thoughts about wiring a panel mount on/off switch to this? I'd like to be able to turn it on and off without having to screw off the front plate. They sell water proof panel mount switches. It's going to be used for a mister system so the auto settings will only be used for when we want to run the misters on a hot day. It would be nice if I could just turn the dials to a setting, screw on the front plate, and only have to hit the button when using.
I hard wired one of these into a mister systems. Amazon sells a AAA battery adapter kit that includes a power supply. I ran the power cable of the back side/bottom of the plastic housing and sealed the cable hole with waterproof epoxy. Works perfectly!! And out of the sun.
I bought this one but it does not wants to work
Is this waterproof
Cool
Very good explanation. Thanks a lot!
Thank you so much. Before buying this I was curious to see how inexpensive device like this do this. In your clear explanation I've not only learned it's operation, but also leaned the how solenoid work. Now I know how my toilet cistern diaphragm works. Thanks a lot!
I have that and is not reliable when it stucks u have to reset take batts out etc that happens every 1-2 days..
Thank you. You saved me 30 bucks!
An old video but it gave me confidence to pull apart a Holman timer which enabled me to get it working again (jammed cogs). Thanks Julian.
Your the man, this helped me a lot, my timer does not go to pipe, it goes on barel, so I had to find a way to make it opens on weaker pressure, thanks
