Hey guys -
Just wondering if anyone has a drip irrigation setup connected to their water tank that is automatic or smart phone accessible?
Cheers

thanks - would it be possible to link me to the parts I need minus the wemo as I have one?
digital tap timer (fitted to your tap)

this kit connects to the timer:

depending on your application, irrigation tube:

90 degree elbows:

dont forget the caps to cap it off
at the end of the tube.
stakes to hold the hoses down:

then you can add tricklers, drippers, misters, jet sprays in the
line.
this setup shouldnt cost you more than a couple hundred bucks, and you will be able to hook up your
wemo to the digital tap timer if you wish to turn it on/off remotely.
may i also suggest you speak with one of the horticulturists at bunnings, they are extremely helpful (ive learnt a great deal from them).
have fun!Ace thanks heaps! I had no idea what I was looking for being a rookie at this and didn't want to have to reply on a sales person
i have a holman irrigation system
hooked up to my rain water outlet.
i have it manually controlled but it
wouldnt be too hard to automate
- just gotta buy a programmable timer from bunnings
and use a wemo (or similar) for remote access.
