Very good stuff! I'm embarking on a similar project for this summer. I look forward to seeing your solution.

Ralph,

Nice update on your sprinkler controller GUI. Sometimes a simple thing like watering can get very complex. I have worked on a very high end irrigation system, that integrated weather information and vegetation needs to try an minimize what usage. Needless to say, the more you attempt to do the more complex the GUI gets. A couple of things that I remember customers asking for were the ability to run multiple short bursts throughout an interval to prevent runoff. A twenty minute cycle might need 5 minutes on and 5 minutes off to allow the water to soak deeper. Either that, or a way to define shorter schedules for each station and then a repeat count for the number of times that the short schedules are repeated. Another thing that came up often was the need for longer schedule times for drip based stations. We use some drip emitters that flow at 1 gallon/hour. We sometimes run these for a couple of hours.

Just some ideas.

Good luck!
