Is it possible to trigger a watering cycle using OpenSprinkler with an input from a PIR motion sensor?
I’m thinking about purchasing an OpenSprinkler unit to control a watering system for my bonsai trees, I have been having some issues with possums eating the trees in the night and reckon if I can use a motion sensor to trigger a 20sec blast from the sprinkler system it would be enough of a deterrent to keep them away.
You will need to connect a PIR motion sensor and modify the source code. There are plenty of tutorials online about Arduino and PIR motion sensor, so it should be fairly straightforward.
