I do already have some Z-Wave repeaters in place/ready to deploy to keep the Zen16 connected. If anyone has a suggestion for a good/not terribly expensive set of wired low-voltate path lights (modern style) I'm all ears.I am planning on using Wago wire connectors to connect things - reasonable, or is there a better alternative for wiring that is outdoor?.Can I install an outdoor plug at the corner of the yard and put a GFCI outlet into it, and use that to power the voltage converter that will feed the Zen16? AFAIK there is no GFCI on the circuit, which I want to fix now that we're going to use it again. It used to serve a post light at the front of the yard that we took out years ago and we tied off and buried the end of the line, and disabled that switch. The line in the yard is connected to a switch in the entryway.Correct? Or are there good boxes I can bury that can fit the gear and keep it dry? I'm thinking that the above ground disguised container approach is the way I should go to keep things safe/out of water/moisture.Q's (at least the Q's I think I should ask): Zen16 connected to pathway light set - likely just one zone to control initially, others to follow.120v line is connected to transformer to step down to 12v, to provide power to Zen16. The 2273 Series connects solid conductors up to 2.5 mm 2 (14 AWG) the 773 Series connects conductors up to 4/6 mm 2 (12/10 AWG). Our product range supports a wide cross section: The 243 Series MICRO PUSH WIRE® Connectors are specially designed for small diameters (e.g., low-voltage installations). So my complication is that since this is getting all connected in the front-corner of the yard, I would need to house everything either underground in a water-proof box of somekind, or above ground in a fake rock container or similar. PUSH WIRE® Connectors for Junction Boxes. Amazingly complete lack of understanding of electricity, and terms like "dry contact," and volts, etc.120v power that runs underground from the house to the front corner of the yard (already have).Low-voltage wired pathway light set (exact set TBD).The stuff I have/am planning to get and use: I'd like to pile on this somewhat old thread to ask about doing something similar, but I have to house all the parts/connections out in the front corner of my yard, where the outside power source is located.
