I have been in my current house since 2003. A previous owner had installed a sprinkler system, which has worked for me all these years, until some time last year when I noted that my grass was looking a bit dry. I investigated why and found that my controller box appears to be in the process of dying. The auto scheduling function is dead - nothing shows on the LCD. I can still operate it via the manual watering process, which has allowed me to keep my yard since last year.
So I just bought a replacement box. It is a Rainbird unit, ESP-RZX indoor controller, which is replacing a ESP-6Si unit. There are 6 red wires coming out of the conduit and attached to "station" plugs, as well as the wiring for the power supply. The new unit has similar connections. So am I wrong to think this is going to be a simple job? Disconnect the original, mount the new one to the wall and then attach the power supply then the wiring coming from the stations, plug in and I'm good to go?
