Jaap,

Take a look at the RAIN8 products at http://www.wgldesigns.com/index.html I use it in combination with homeseer.

Thanks,

Looks interesting.

Do you need to buy the valves separately?
Or are they included?

And: can it be used in NL?

Greetings,

Jaap,

You need electronics valves, they are not included and yes you can use it everywhere. I live in the Netherlands....

Ah, I was already thinking so.

Where can you buy such electronic valves?
Can tell me where you bought yours?
Then I know for certain that it will works.

Thanks,

There was allready a semi automated sprinkler system in my house when I bought it...

I think every big garden shop will have sprinkler systems nowadays. From the top of my head, the valves must operate at 12volt...

Thank you!

I wasn't aware that these valves are commodity products today.

greetings,

In case you are going to France on holidays ... check the garden department at one of the Mr. Bricolage DHZ shops - likely one near a large shopping mall.... they have nice water valve 12V (?) price around euro 20,00 (?) ...... or check Gardena search voor Beregeningsventiel 24V - around euro 27,00 ...... and finally go for old laundry washing-machine and ripping out the 230V water inlet valve ...... but take care of isolation .... likely not worth the energy ... including a risk of some shocking experiences .....
