Each of the controllers goes to one of the solenoids in your diagram, right?

Yes each station would go to a valve and there would be a master valve too.


I'm confused as to whether it comes withe the latching solenoids.
They are different than the regular ones.
The way these timers work and any other battery type is they toggle.
Meaning they get a short burst of electricity from the timer and a switch toggles to on or off.
You still have to have valves and run some amount of wire to make these things work.
I think they were intended for remote areas without electricity and they are costly.

I think a better option would be the other type hose end battery operated timer they have if you want to go battery operated.

Is there any reason not to use the 120 volt timers?
