Hey all

I just built my OpenSprinkler and tested it with 24VAC. My old timeclock runs off of 26 VAC. My 24 VAC is to large and conflicts with other stuff. Can I use the existing 26VAC transformer?

I am using hardware 1.4 with firmware 1.8.1.

Many Thanks

-Kevin

It may be ok. Use a multimeter to measure the AC voltage of the transformer. If it's more than 28VAC, you should not use it.

I just finished building my kit. My transformer shows 26.5V output and the multimeter tests showed good voltages for 3.3 and 5.
