Look at this: > [@Ideas to have an automated garden watering system](https://community.smartthings.com/t/ideas-to-have-an-automated-garden-watering-system/95195): > > I have a small balcony and have many pots. I am thinking of having a drip irritation system to water all of them using [this](http://www.amazon.in/DripKit-Irrigation-Garden-Watering-Plants/dp/B00JMAHY4E?_encoding=UTF8&keywords=drip%20irrigation%20kit&portal-device-attributes=desktop&qid=1502291156&ref_=sr_1_3&sr=8-3) and connect the kit to [this valve](https://www.adafruit.com/product/997) which will be connected to the tap. I am also thinking of having a soil humidity/water tester that will send the data back in order for the valve to open/close. Is this something possible with ST? I have no background with coding and all i can do is copy paste. But really want to try this out. You can also use Spruce’s controller to manage valves, but that may be a little overkill depending on your use case. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.smartthings.com/t/plantlink-alternative/95408)._
