Will this support a rain sensor and a soil moisture sensor at the same time? There is only one sensor terminal.

I use both. There is not problem with both. It appears the soil moisture sensor has 1st determination about watering.

No, there is only one sensor for both heat and humidity. So you would have to put that into one habitat or the other.

Yes. You should be able to add 1 more. But mine can only work with 2, because the middle port was bad.And it automatic detect which port is active and switch automatically.

I use one sensor and it alerts me in 2 locations on my property, Bugs running across it can set it off. Needs some light to make it work too.

I believe it did I purchased a second sensor and installed both of them so if the first senor failes I can hook up the 8ther sensor.

The thermostat comes with only one probe that's used to monitor the soil's temperature from one tray. If you could hook up multiple mats you cannot assume the soil's temperature in all the trays are the same.

just one, run the timers in series. as long as both timers have the place to connect sensor. some timers don't have that option.

yes, but don't place it more than a few (2 or 3 in) above the rain barrel. make sure to put an overflow outlet in the final rain barrel or if connecting them in series.(0-0-0- the 0 = barrels and the - = connectors or outlet/overflow)

You do not need to purchase two. If your system only has one sensor that's all you need. In my case, the water sensor failed and this item replaced it perfectly. My system's original air sensor is still working fine and I expect it will for a long time as it is sheltered from the elements.

I don't understand. Explain how you would put this into a flood light sensor. Which sensor won't work, your existing one? This is made to support only one light. It sounds like you have an existing flood light at has a sensor that doesn't work any more. If you can activate that original system to remain on all the time then you could screw this device into an existing light socket and it should work. I don't know if this device is water proof, you may need to shield it from the weather.

Based on my experience with this, you will need two of them. Also note that they must have very direct sunlight, they don't work well on cloudy days either. All the controllers I am familiar with have the diodes built into them, or at least I thought they did. Mine is working just with the controller.

No not at all. Very simple setup. You can add a rain sensor. I bought it for the price. Perhaps in the future they'll do a firmware update, but I wouldn't count on it. Try Cyber-rain. www.cyber-rain.com, but it will be expensive. http://www.cyber-rain.com/residential-irrigation-smart-controller-products.html

I don't see why not. I would put them on different time delays for a power failure so they both wouldn't try to call you at the same time. I assume you want two units for temperature monitoring.

As Mr. Levinson already noted, it would best be described as "rain sensor ready" - sensor not included.When I bought mine I was looking for a standard 9001D. This version cost less so the sensor connection was an added bonus.

This is exactly what I tried, two sensors programmed to work with two base receivers, and it worked, but for some reason, one of the bases receivers quit receiving signals. I tried reprogramming the dip switches, with the unit off, but nothing works, yet both sensors continue to work with the original receiver. The base powers up, and looks operational, but just will not receive the signals from the sensors anymore. So yes, I had two receivers picking up two different sensors, but then the one receiver failed after a short time, about two months. Maybe you will have better luck with dependability if your receivers are working properly.

I bought this as a gift as I received a similar one as one. For mine, the outside sensor should be sheltered from direct sunlight as you want the temperature to reflect "in the shade." How you could do this without "getting rained on" is beyond me. Mine is under an eve. If you have no eve access, I suggest you improvise a simple one. make sure there's enough circulation room as to not trap heat and damage the sensor or at least cause it to give invalid readings. Good luck...

I contacted my home security company to get a list of sensors that are compatible with my existing security system. This one was one of those in the list. I would suggest you to do the same.
