Rachio 3 - Australia - Setup

[PIS7OL]

Hi Community,

I just received my gen 3 today and need to confirm two things.

1. The 24V AC 1amp brick. I’m about to solder the Rachio plug to the unit from Jaycar, does the polarity of the wires matter?

2. The solution for disabling the Lora antenna, by dropping a bit of solder over the two points. Has this been confirmed to work?

Thanks in advance for you assistance.

Sorry to bump, but trying to avoid someone making the same mistake I did.

The adapter that Loren linked is NOT suitable for Rachio. Rachio requires an AC-AC adapter. The AC-DC adapter Loren linked will cause issues with your Solenoids (I learnt the hard way).

Refer to this thread:

Zone wont shut off

Its the power plug as the original… 24vac. It seems The controller works fine. Just dont output the right values or so… This is the original: [16869326790163054015598646835898] This is the 220 version i created: [16869327693393243532843655675247]

In Australia, searching Google for “AC2410” should get you what you want. Here are some I found (yet to receive one to verify):

• https://www.bournesuperstore.com.au/24vac-1amp-ac-power-supply-2.1mm-plug
• POWERMASTER AC2410 24V AC 1AMP AC POWER SUPPLY 2.1MM PLUG - 24VAC - Radio Parts

Thanks @Rawr

I just picked up this power supply from Jaycar which should do the job.
Jaycar - MP3032

Just grabbed one of these right angle plugs which I’ll solder on.
Jaycar - PP0514

Hope this helps.
