How to make a automatic watering system out of a washing machine water valve
Have you ever thought about creating your own Garden Irrigation System for your garden or hanging baskets well you can with a few Micro Irrigation fittings and a washing machine watering valve, then you can hook this up to an auto time or a smart switch to work with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple Siri. then you will have control from anywhere.
You can build a basic manual watering irrigation system for as little as £15 but if you want it set up on a timer then they start at about £10 for a programmable switch.
If you want to go the full hog then you need Alexa, Google or Siri smart device and a wifi switch which is compatible with these devices, I use the outdoor socket Sonoff S55
you can also use the Sonoff switches if you want.
