So I have read a TON of post and looked over pictures, but I have a question concerning mounting that I havn't really seen yet or found any others discussing.
I see how the STC-1000 isn't really desirable in a mounting location of on the collar due to moisture etc, so my question is has any one considered (or done it already) boxing in the back side of the controller to shield it from the moisture?
I like the clean look of having the controller to the side of the faucets, but I do not want to replace it every few years due to moisture corroding the electronics. I also know from past experiences, is that once it is wired and installed properly, it can be completely covered in silicone on the back side (which will make it completely water proof essentially). so maybe a 2"x8" box to cover the back as well at the wires internally coated with silicone could work here??
And finally, if there is a WAY better location, that gives the clean look of no project box etc please let me know.
