The Rain8net is a modular 8-zone sprinkler controller module that is controlled over any RS232 serial port. It is capable of driving standard 24VAC irrigation valves directly.
Expansion modules may be daisy chained to provide control and 24 VAC power to as many as 2040 irrigation zones from a single COM port. The Rain8net requires a computer or other home automation controller running 24/7 to control the irrigation schedule.

Three modules (24 zones)

There is a single RS232 connection between the controlling computer and the "master" Rain8. The distance between the computer and the controller is up to 1000' and requires only 3 wires: TX, RX and GND. The 24VAC power and network
communications are transferred from master to slave-to-slave etc.
The network connection for the slave units is an 8 conductor RJ45. Each slave has a pair of these modular jacks to pass on data and power to the next one in a daisy chain. Each slave also has a RS232 connection that is used only to assign the address during the initial configuration.
