Low Voltage Landscape lights

I am in the middle of a pool remodel and will be getting an EasyTouch with Screen Logic interface.
My questions are;
Will hooking up low voltage landscape lighting to the EasyTouch be pretty simple? Will the EasyTouch have a 12v output that will work with automation so I shouldn't need a transformer?

I am somewhat knowledgeable in electrical wiring so I plan on doing this myself. I will have the conduit ran by the pool builder and handle the rest myself after the project.
 
K,

The EasyTouch will control the 120 VAC going to the landscape lights... You will still need the power supply/transformer to power the lights.

The installation is very easy... Either install a new circuit breaker in the load center, or find another 120 volt inside the ET, and route the voltage to the line side of an unused Aux relay. Wire the Load side of the relay to the Landscape lights power center/transformer...

You can then use ScreenLogic to set up a new circuit name "Malibu lights" (Or whatever you want) and schedule the lights operation..

You will end up with a page like the following with an Icon that tells you if the circuit is on or off and also allows you to turn it on/off by pushing the icon.
