Mine is by the back patio, and it is plugged in to and it looks like a little power or telephone box. There is a cord (painted same as exterior) that runs from the box (labeled Rainbird) and plugs into an exterior outlet. Most important, it is installed next to a water spigot, so it may be hidden (and not used.) We get pretty dry in the valley (Oregon, South of Portland) so we time ours everyday at dawn (or 6 am) for 15 minutes, and it keeps our grass and trees/plants looking good. We only run it May-Sept, but it is a big help for up keep!
