Used Orbit valves to drive the sprinklers. Orbit valves are controlled via a relay board that is hooked to ELK M1G controller. I'm doing this since I renovated my lawn. For few weeks, deep watering isn't required. It only requires at least 5 mins each zone until the seeds germinate. The code I wrote will turn on the relay for each zone at 9am, 11am, 1pm, 3pm, 6pm and 9pm.

After 2 weeks, I will increase the duration maybe to about 15 minutes each zone. I will also reduce the number of times it's watered throughout the day.

In this video, I only used 20 seconds duration since I was just demonstrating how it works.
