Outdoor & Garden
The Smart Wired™ Standard and irrigation runs an active wire from the irrigation/lighting cordless (next to Home Distributor) out to each valve in the garden.
The number of 'stations' (electric values) in a garden is determined by the water pressure / flow available at the meter.
Each valve has its own active and common wire running to it. On an eight-station controller, there would be at least nine wires leaving the controller.
The accepted garden cable will usually be 2.5mm2 flexible with high quality water proofing plastic sheathing.

Home Distributors
The Home Distributor links all of your home's telecommunications, video, security and audio equipment and enables you to control any device from anywhere in the home.
Traditionally, the distributor is located either in the garage or in a dedicated Smart Wired™ control room in your home.
It is recommended you only use Home Distributors which meet all the Australian Standards and which are accredited to the Smart Wired Standard.
