I am pretty sure this Gardena valve is a latching solenoid valve, so it’s NOT compatible with OSPi. I can tell it because the document says the 9V valve is to be used with control unit 1250, which is a battery powered controller. Only latching solenoid valves can work with battery powered controller, 24VAC valves cannot work with battery powered controller.
