Sprinkler power supply died

Home

I’ve had the sprinkler controller for a couple of seasons now, and this year I had a solenoid valve that went bad and now the power supply for the controller isn’t working. I’m fairly certain the solenoid valve had a fault, it caused too much current draw and this burned out the transformer or something similar in the power supply for the controller.

I’ve replaced the valve and now I need to replace the power supply. Is there one that is recommended by Wyze? I didn’t find one on their web store. I can find 24V AC transformers for doorbells easily online. If this type of power supply is the right kind, I can easily make the electrical connection from the transformer to the controller unit.

Thanks for any help.

It just says you need : 24V AC, 60Hz, 850mA

I had my Sprinkler controller adapter go bad a long time ago and Wyze just replaced it, but that might’ve been because I was under warranty. It could be worth asking them if they have replacements for it.

I think you’re fine to find/use your own power adapter as long as it conforms to the above specs. I don’t remember well what kind of connection it uses, but as long as it fits and is done safely, should be fine.

Very frustrating. No replacement parts. And they don’t have the controller itself any longer.
