northernlights Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 So I have an Exterior GFCI outlet which ultimately controls a sprinkler valve box. The valve box control is well beyond any Wi-Fi range of my home network. Occasionally the GFCI outlet trips and loses power to the sprinkler box and I’ve lost several fruit trees and garden items as a result. The GFCI outlet is close enough to the house that would be in range for Wi-Fi and perhaps the C4 meshed web. Is there a solution for C4 to plug into this GFCI in order to communicate with the C4 system and send me an alert when the power goes out at this circuit? It is an Exterior location.

christophers Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 you could probably use a c4 wall outlet and create an event for when it drops offline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggzlot Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 A water flow meter? If the valves do not trigger on and no water flows through the system you would get a 0 water reading. Dual purposes as you can use the water flow meter for other programming or just your own personal information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jragan Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Sorry for asking a basic question but you didn’t have you first tried replacing the GFCI receptacle? Older units get overly sensitive about faults and trip. A newer unit might not fault as frequently (or at all).Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
