Does anyone out there have some good ideas for how to control the following: 1) Lawn Sprinklers. The current setup is 6 manually controlled valves. I would like to replace the manual valves with some electronically controlled valves. While at the hardware store I saw some valves that will do the trick. Apparently they are controlled by a timer, and either 12 or 24 volts DC. Is there some sort of X10 module I use to controll these valves? 2) Thermostat. The X10 thermostat controller doesn't look too smart. Is there a better one? My current house has an electronic thermostat, but the user interface is a real pain, and it doesn't tie into the X10 system at all. If you have some ideas or experience with similar problems, I'd love to hear from you. Don Jackson dcj@sun.con
