Claim 0:
1. A controller for mounting onto a socket of an outdoor device, the controller comprising:
an inner body comprising a first bottom surface from which an annular arrangement of electrical connection pins for engaging with said socket extends, said inner body further housing control circuitry for said outdoor device, said control circuitry being electrically connected to at least some of said electrical connection pins; and
an outer body rotationally mounted around the inner body, the outer body comprising a further bottom surface around the first bottom surface and an outer cover extending from said further bottom plate covering the control circuitry, the further bottom surface carrying an annular compressible gasket for providing a weatherproof seal between the further bottom surface and the socket by rotational displacement of the outer body relative to the inner body, wherein in an initial orientation the further bottom surface is vertically displaced relative to the first bottom surface to such an extent that the annular compressible gasket does not touch the socket upon engagement of the controller with the socket and when the outer body relative to the inner body is rotated towards the socket the weatherproof seal is established between the outer body and the socket by compressing the annular compressible gasket against said socket.
