So, the new one will use shift register to control stuff. There are my initial version picture of RelayMote v1.0: My initial revision had possibility to control 8 zones(5V logic support), hardware pulse debounce, OneWire connector, but now I need to control more and I'am on the way of building it expandable. What is it, I will keep as secret for now. I have working on several projects for home automation and one of them are similar to sprinkler hw and can be adapted. screw terminals for connection to sprinkler valves and sensorsįirst I would like to say big thanks to Felix for his superior work! I'm reading your blog from early begging. These from GarageMote **should** work I think SSRs / diodes for a few zones, I have to see what the current ratings are for a "typical" sprinkler valve are an RTC (if you wan to run schedules, could make this optional and have the schedules controlled by a Rpi or something else). Input for external temperature / humidity sensor (why not?)
Maybe add the ability for a "MoistureMote" to locate this sensor farther away from the controller, could be polled periodically.
Input for soil moisture meter (to bypass a schedule if ground is saturated) Ability to turn the zones on and off remotely at will I've seen some of the projects out there, but I really like the Moteino platform. I have a 2 zone sprinkler system currently (will probably expand) and I hate the controller. Not a completed project, but just starting.
