Hi everyone, I have 22 lines coming off the hydrosys4 irrigating a plant nursery. I would like to convert the system to run 24v latching solenoid valves rather than 12v non-latching ones. Is there a simple way to get these valves working with hydrosys4 as they are a lot easier to get in Australia and are more reliable than the non latching type. Cheers!

I'm using non-latching and also working well, but I'd imagine for the latching you would need a short pulse to latch and a short pulse to latch opposite (if I understand the workings correctly). If you are working off a daily timer then the timer only provides 1 pulse per day, so that probably isnt an option. You'de probably have to create a solution in hardware that triggers a pulse on a state/edge change. ie, where you turn on your non-latching that triggers a pulse, then when you turn it off it triggers another pulse.
or, is the MQTT interface working? or was that one of the parts of the project still to be developed?
