Rainbird DV-100 valves and OpenSprinkler

[wayneoutthere]

Hello
I was just about to order opensprinkler unit but wasn’t sure which one to get.
The valves that will be installed on our property are apparently “Rainbird DV-100′. Probably these: https://www.rainbird.com/products/dvdvf-series

I ‘think’ the DC powered OpenSprinkler should be ok but I wanted to be sure

Thanks very much

Yes both AC-powered and DC-powered OpenSprinkler should work with this valve.

awesome, thanks! Looking forward to become an opensprinkler fan-boy 🙂

I have the DVF100 : https://www.rainbird.com/products/dvdvf-series

Specs at the website say: 24 VAC 50/60Hz (cycles per second) solenoid power requirement: 0.450A inrush current, 0.25A holding current

Which version did you go with?

If both AC and DC work, is one “better” ? (DC appears to be slightly cheaper)

thanks!

I went with the ones in my link above which looks like the same link as yours.

My experience has been FANTASTIC by the way. I have not yet had time to blog it but I plan to write up a quick blog about how Open Sprinker is awesome. It’s both simple (if you want) or very robust (if you want).

Great work team! An epic open source story here.
