Thanks, but its more like hairbrained clusterfuckery.... lol
I shouldn't knock it tho - haven't watered that room manually since the system was installed. Arduinos kick ass....

These programs are best used as a boilerplate for your own setup. The times in the code above are calibrated for my setup - you will need to tweak them for your own system. I hope this gets somebody some time off. We all deserve that now and then :) Happy summer folks
