This wiki collects everything I know about the irrigation system I built for 1804 SE 33rd. I'll provide as much information as I can gather - hopefully you're just curious, rather than having to fix it.

In brief, here is what you are looking at:

  • Here are instructions to change the watering schedule.

  • The power box provides two voltages: 5vdc for the electronics and 24vac for the irrigation valves

  • The controller is a Raspberry Pi Zero, controlling two relays, which control power for the irrigation valves

  • The code to run the project is written in R and present in this github repository

  • The irrigation valves are standard lawn watering valves, available from Home Depot or other hardware store.

  • There is a status dashboard.

  • Weather Statistics are downloaded from open-meteo.

  • I was interviewed by MagPi Magazine.

I've broken this out into separate pages for more detail.
