Yea I know it should be weatherproof but here in the south with the humidity so high plus where the switch has to be mounted it is subjet to being hit by sprinklers from recycled water that is high in chlorine and as such very corrosive. When I put my switches under cover be it soffit or boxes I never seem to have any problems. When they are exposed I seem to ultimately have problems so I prefer an enclosure of some sort. Thank you everybody for excellent help. I really appreciate it. I couldn't seem to find anything on my own. Thanks again.

If you already have two receivers running into the house you could just run a third one in and have those three run to the DP34 switch underneath the house where no moisture can get to it then run the wires from that switch to the receivers.

Guess you're not from round here. House is on a slab. No basement nor on pilings. Needs to mount where the siding meets the slab about 15 inches off the ground right in the line of the sprinkler spray.

I posted quite a few weatherproof boxes for sale. It seems that most people throw caution to the wind and worry about bad connectors and corrosion after it happens. I, too, prefer weatherproof boxes.

Go to Lowes, Home Depot, or a local sprinkler/irrigation parts supplier and get a sprinkler controller enclosure. They are more rugged than so called cable TV service drop boxes.

Great suggestion thanks. Yes many times when fittings and switches are exposed to a lot of elements I have problems. If they can be sheltered like well up under the eaves II have had no problems.
