    well this sucks. I get it all hooked up and programmed..then the controller shuts off..i noticed that when i touched the ac adapter it turned back on..looked at it..and the rubber coating around the wire going into the adapter is peeling back and care wire is exposed. I called the company about it..guy was a complete jerk and didn't believe me. But he gave me a code and told me to send the adapter back. Wth am I supposed to do with the controller til I get the other one? Awful customer service. Other than that..Pretty happy with the controller.

    Edit: It's not really in a fixable location, otherwise I'd just slap some electrical tape on it.

    Do you think I could find some sort of universal one to fit it? It seems like even the simplest cables/etc are so specific...
