Landscape Lighting transformer

I have a client who wants simple ON/OFF landscape lighting operation from an interior wall switch. Transformer would ideally be located in the crawl space.

Most of the transformers I see have functions I don't want and some even say "for outdoor use only."

Any recommendations for basic units that are designed to be indoors? Or should I just buy one with features I don't need and choose to not use them.

I am new to landscape lights so just trying to gather as much info as possible. Thanks

If you search for indoor landscape lighting transformer there are many that are listed for indoor or outdoor locations. I have mine installed in a closet in the basement with a 1" conduit running to a junction box outside. In the conduit I have THHN at the JB it transitions to direct burial cable. Since the transformer is cord and plug I used a switch controlled receptacle fed from a WiFi switch. The four toggle switches are to control 4 separate lighting zones.
