Just a heads-up about the upcoming firmware: in firmware 2.1.8 (to be released by this weekend), we added support for AP mode functions — all functions (except NTP syncing and weather data, obviously due to lack of Internet) are enabled in AP mode. This way the controller itself behaves like a router, and your computer or mobile app can directly communicate with the controller, you can set programs or start/stop zones directly without an external router.

Regarding peak power: the controller itself draws about 150mA in resting state (this is mainly the power needed by the WiFi chip). Each opening valve adds another few hundred mA of current draw.

We will be away from Thursday July 17 to Monday July 21. Orders placed after 3pm EST July 17
will be shipped on Tuesday July 22. Thank you for your understanding!
