What happens here

Mount the irrigation controller on a suitable wall, typically in a garage or utility area, and connect its power and zone wiring. The controller manages the watering schedule and activates the solenoid valves for each irrigation zone. Ensure all wiring connections are secure and follow the manufacturer's instructions for programming the controller.

Goal: Install and wire the irrigation system's control unit.
