Anyone know of a low power landscape lighting power supply with NO photocell or timer? Looked at HD and Lowe's, no luck. I want to put the pathway lights on one of the ST compatible outdoor switches. Thx.

I have one that has an ‘analog’ clock timer but I just took the little on/off thingies out so it’s on all the time and then control it with a zwave plug. It’s wired in to my garage though so not outdoors.

The Hampton bay one at Home Depot you can set it to always on and rely on the smart outlet it is plugged into. Photocell isn’t required to be used.

Just don't set the timer to any off time and/or cover the photocell.
