Hello everyone,
Excluding the house, garage, driveway, and terrace, we will have about 300 sqm (3,230 sq ft) of garden space, mostly lawn, with some perennials and a hedge. From what I understand, a small garden timer that connects directly to the faucet is not sufficient for this; instead, you need an irrigation control system with valve boxes installed underground in the lawn—is that correct?
How do you connect a rainwater cistern with a submersible pressure pump to this system? The hose comes from the cistern, but where does it go from there?
How many power outlets should be planned for this system? Is one outdoor socket enough?
Best regards

My friend wasn’t really impressed with the Gardena control system. He also has a Gardena robotic mower, but he said the mower and the irrigation system don’t really communicate with each other. No idea if that’s true... That’s correct, they don’t. They operate on fixed schedules. I don’t see why the mower would need to constantly coordinate with the sprinklers...
For more complex setups, the Gardena control system isn’t suitable since it’s not very smart. It’s designed for a typical single-family home with a garden.
