Fairly soon I'll be installing sod to cap off a drainage swale I've been constructing to avoid erosion from flash floods. Being new sod in hot July, it will neeed to be irrigated multiple times per day until the roots grow in, or it will get destroyed by the heat. Technically, I don't need to irrigate the entire zone but just the section with the new sod, and so I'm wondering if there's an HA controlled hose valve I can use for that purpose? Then I could position a portable sprinkler to cover just the area that needs it.
If push came to shove, I suppose I could hack a regular irrigation valve to work with hose fittings, but I'd rather not if I could buy something off the shelf. I have seen battery operated hose valves with their own timers and scheduling built in, but no access from a HA controller. I suppose I could fall back to that also if there isn't anything else.
Suggestions?
