| Shelly RGBW2 for irrigation | Works | Four outputs drive sprinkler solenoids; user reports it workingSaved copyIt’s for pop up sprinklers for the lawn / garden. Looking further into it, I think the cheapest and probably simplest way is to use the smart irrigation plugin. Put a power socket in with a 12v power adapter feeding into a Shelly RGBW2 which will allow for four outputs to the individual solenoid valves. Thoughts?
