Re: Automation of Garden Sprinkler with Homevision

["Richard Challis" <richard@xxxxxxx>]

Ian,

Thanks for your description, I currently have a 3 valve set-up that I'm
installing. I would like t  add more valves but I won't be able to scrounge
any more valves from the source I was using. Where did you get yours
please?

Best Regards

Rich
