EveryDropMeter 1004-EX
My valves are on the same side of the house as the low voltage box. My neighbor is installing one but his valves are on the opposite side of the house from the low voltage box. We ran the wire up from the low voltage box into the attic and over to the other side of the house. We had to bore a hole in the soffit and used PVC electrical conduit for the wire run down the side of the home to the ground.
They recommend shielded wire so I purchased what I needed here:
P7162D Shielded Flow Sensor Cable By The Foot
BTW, did you know the Rachio 3 can monitor your valves too? On the first page in the app, there is an option to add this. It is a one time charge of $29.99 (purchase within the app). It monitors mA draw on each valve and will notify you if there is a significant change.
