Re: Hose pipe control?

I assume that you are running underground pipes back to the water supply
somewhere. Why not use the solenoid valves of a scrap washing machine. All
they need is 240V ac to operate them.

Subject:	[ukha_d] Hose pipe control?

I am putting together a garden sprinkler system and want to control it
via my PC. Can't see the point in buying a specialist sprinkler
computer and having it in the garden. I want to be able to control it
nice and easily from the house.

So the ideal product I'm looking for is a product that can attach to a
hose in some way and be opened and closed remotely. Ideally via RF so I
don't have to run wires from the house to the garden, but it will not
be the end of the world if I have to. I am using the SECU16 product
(http://www.appdig.com/secu16.html)
so I have relays that I can control
easily.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Phil
