Is there a way to re-purpose an old rachio for indoor use?
Suppose I just want to do manual schedule to put some water into some pots for plants?

And instead of sprinklers how would I get water into pots for plants.
Or is this completely not the way to do this?
Why not.

What might be fun to simulate flex, have an emitter drip into a rain sensor so that a schedule that runs everyday,will,be skipped until the sensor dries out.
I’ll try to post links to products later.
