datadiffusion Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) Also sorting out my watering system today, nothing fancy just solenoid and a hozelock kit. Controlled via simple z-wave relay as Fibaro has watering program built in based on weather etc... Hadn't really considered the hammer issues. Edited April 13, 2020 by datadiffusion Quote So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 The speedfit is just being used inside. Will be painted for the 200mm at each basket. Wanted to use it as its in the house and i didnt want any leaks. Ive done it without joints thats why the 4 way manifold. Used this solonoid https://www.amazon.co.uk/Electric-Household-Appliances-Industrial-Equipment/dp/B07WGZ62G2/ref=sr_1_12?crid=E223TKA97H7R&dchild=1&keywords=240v+solenoid+valve&qid=1586805698&refinements=p_76%3A419158031&rnid=419157031&rps=1&sprefix=240v+sol%2Caps%2C146&sr=8-12 for about 12 quid using a sonoff mini https://www.amazon.co.uk/Compatible-Control-Function-Support-Required/dp/B07TRSWY23/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?ie=UTF8&aaxitk=vILe6pEXAnEN4p-U9Y5c2g&hsa_cr_id=2512088930502&ref_=sb_s_sparkle Just cos i have them i dont need the switch input but may add it to the enclosure depending on how the auto goes with the weather etc Currently running on a hose pipe feed but will be plumbed in properly The out hose connection is for the veg patch Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

james.wilson Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 The remote is for something else but i was playing with it. It will be automatic on a timer using the sonoff.

norman Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Like the manifold. Ifttt is ideal for the sonoff with something like Weather Underground. Or even on the schedule for sunset with inching set up. Quote Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Personally I'd see the solenoid as a potential weak/leak spot and I'd look to have it outside if at all possible. Quote Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
