This project is necessary for people who are using a sprinkler.
Connecting this arduino to your sprinkler system will allow you to remotely turn your garden watering on and off from any web-enabled device. From there you can make it as fancy or as simple as you wish.
Hardware
– 1 x arduino board
– 1 x ethernet shield
– 1 x relay shield
– 1 x 10vDC adaptor (a recycled phone charger)
– 1 x momentary push button
Connect push button to A0,A1,A2. The push button is optionnal, it allows you to cycle manually through the sprinklers.
software
You can download the Source code

How to work it:
– The valves are turned off automagically after 60 minutes (can be modified, time in seconds, 0 disables the functionality).
– The manual button cycles through the valves (and uses A0,A1,A2 for convenience reasons).
Result
Everything else is covered in my previous instructable (here).
- connect the valves.
- use the web interface.
- make the system wireless.
