RE: [misterhouse-users] Odd/even numbered day events

Bill,

Thanks for the info. I knew there had to be some way to 
do it in Perl but I have very little experience with it 
and couldn't find anything in the MH docs. I'll find out 
if it works tomorrow. :)

I bought the RCS 8 relay module which is X10 
controllable. I send a signal to turn on the relay and 
another one to turn it off. The relays control a 
collection of 24V valves. Right now I have the Rainbird 
in ground in-line valves rigged to some hose pipes and 
sprinklers with a bunch of adapters!!! I just moved in 
to a new house so spending a lot of money (and time) for 
a real sprinkler system was out of the question. The 
good thing about the way I'm doing it is that I can re-
use the valves when I finally get around to burying 
pipes. I also figure that 8 zones should be sufficient 
for when I landscape the back and sides of the house so 
I can keep using the RCS box.

Thanks again,

Brandon
