An irrigation control device comprises a coil (16) adapted to develop an electromagnetic flux sufficient to cause actuation of irrigation equipment control circuitry (18) coupled to the coil to receive control signals from an irrigation control unit and electrically coupled to the coil to control the flux at the coil and a housing (14) covering at least a portion of both the coil and the control circuitry, the housing including a threaded end (24) configured to thread the irrigation control device to a valve assembly.
