Stefan Schmaltz and his OpenSprinkler

Stefan 2024 b
It all started in 2013 when we were building a house. My wife wanted flowers, I wanted technology - and in the end we were both faced with the same question: How do we get our garden watered without one of us constantly running with the watering can?
Sure, I could have put something together - but let's be honest: who wants to spend their free time with cables, hoses and circuit boards?
Then I'm up OpenSprinkler bumped. This is the solution! Once set up, the system runs as if by itself. Lawns, beds even the pots - everything is watered reliably and fully automatically.
The best? I no longer have to beg the neighbors when we want to go on a spontaneous vacation. The plants still remain lush green. That makes it a lot more relaxing, don't you think?
And if I get into a crafting mood -
no problem: OpenSprinkler is open source –
You can try out and expand to your heart's content.

So it doesn't matter if you have one convenient complete solution Whether you're looking for something or would like to do a little tinkering yourself - with OpenSprinkler you're always in the right place.
