  • Solenoid and method of manufacture
    Patent number: 10871242
    Abstract: A solenoid is provided having an improved connection arrangement. The solenoid includes external wires that are coupled to internal solenoid components via terminals. Further, a sealed solenoid is provided having a housing overmolded onto a solenoid subassembly. External wires can be coupled to the solenoid after overmolding. The solenoid may also include a cavity for receiving at least one of electrical component. The solenoid may also include a powdered metal core.
    Type: Grant

  • Wireless Solenoid Mesh Network
    Publication number: 20180279566
    Abstract: There is provided an irrigation system with a plurality of solenoid valves. The solenoid valves each include a wireless transceiver that communicates with one another to form a mesh network. The solenoids can include sensors that gather data to be communicated over the wireless mesh network to a controller. The solenoids can also include a signal generator to activate passive sensors remote from the solenoid to collect data and transmit the data to the solenoid for communication over the wireless mesh network to a controller. The data can be related to environmental conditions or security about the irrigation system.
