Ok great. And to confirm, I can connect a regulated 5VDC UPS to the +5V / VIN connection in addition to the normal 24VAC transformer at the same time and OpenSprinkler can handle both? Or does it replace the need for the 24AC transformer.

And to also confirm, on the DC version of OpenSprinkler, the user can just connect a DC UPS (that supports between 7.5VDC to 12VDC) to the normal DC power plug on OpenSprinkler. No need to mess with the +5V connection on the OpenSprinkler DC model when using a DC UPS. That’s a big benefit for getting the DC version I guess.
