It's been a project I've wanted to do for a long time, build an automated watering system for my back yard (because I cant be bothered to water my own lawn, I have far more important things to do like spend hours cutting videos together!) So here it is finally done. This is one of the largest/most expensive builds I've done totally around $80-90 for the electronics and then a whole lot more for the hosing and sprinkler heads but it's totally worth it!. Check out the build here!
