Nice quote, you replied to the off this topic post from Joe Putegnat... :)
what's the difference between a relay and a mechanical actuator? The
VALVES have a solenoid that turns them on and off at the pipes
themselves, what I'm referring to is called a "timer" or "controller"
and handles up to 6 connections to those valves. I believe the circuit
that actually sends the 24vac to the valves are mechanical relays, but
they're sealed up (since this can be mounted outdoors as well).
Anyone who's really interested in the box's mechanicals can contact me
to come see it.
Or check out the toro website

I didn't buy it as a "kit", but bought timer and software gadget separately.
