Does anyone have a suggestion for a misting system controller? I have a misting system in place for my 25' x 8' greenhouse filled with orchids. The misting system has garden hose connections and is currently on an electronic timer (max of 4 mistings per day). Using an electronic timer is not all that great because it can only be programmed to come on at specific times. During the summer I frequently need more frequent mistings than the current timer can provide. On the other hand, during the winter I need fewer or no mistings due to cooler temps on cloudy days.
Z-wave would be my preferred method of control, but the current offerings are a bit more than I want to pay (but would begrudgingly pay if they can work with my system and minimal modification). I can do simple plumbing, but prefer everything accept the garden hose fittings that are present.
Ideally, I would like to set control of the misting controller based on temperature. I'd also be fine with set misting durations and manually controlling it from HomeSeer via my PC or smartphone while I'm away.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
Don
