    Sonoff 4CH Pro with DC Hunter Solenoids

    So the key to this was to reverse the polarity. This is what I used to get it to work. A half second inching setting in the respective relays is all that you need. You can only do three solenoids per 4 station Pro. The first one is used to send a "close" pulse to all the channels at once...

    OpenServe ONT Replacement

    Would it be possible to replace the Openserve ONT with my own that supports Gigabit Passive Optical Networking via its SFP port? Something like this

    Sonoff 4CH Pro with DC Hunter Solenoids

    After much reading I managed to get one solenoid to work. The polarity has to be switched to open and close a DC solenoid. AC solenoids are different in the sense that it stays open as long as there is power. DC only needs a pulse with +- in one direction and -+ to close. So you use two relays...

    Sonoff 4CH Pro with DC Hunter Solenoids

    Getting very close- I am getting a time delay relay tomorrow which is able to pulse the solenoid at 250ms. This is a key step in making the DC solenoid work. I will post a more comprehensive set of instructions once I have it working. <<Update>> The time delay relay had nothing to do with this...

    Can someone shed some light on the Sonoff wiring for each relay

    Sonoff 4CH Pro with DC Hunter Solenoids

    This assumes that the AC wiring is the same as DC? AC solenoids have two red wires- you can take anyone but the DC solenoids have a black (negative) and red (positive) wire. This is the tricky part, how to wire the DC power side of things into this DC only setup.

    Sonoff 4CH Pro with DC Hunter Solenoids

    Currently there are three Samsung lithium 18650's. They provide ample power and phase two I will add a small sun panel with a voltage regulator to keep it topped up.

    Sonoff 4CH Pro with DC Hunter Solenoids

    I had a Hunter XC Hybrid that ran off a 9V battery for 10 years on three DC solenoids with a PGP valve. Then suddenly it started draining my batteries in less than a week where it use to be a year. Contacted Hunter but they gave me no hope of getting this looked at. This accelerated my move into...
