So to automate the irrigation system, we need to account for and, ideally, optimize these times intervals. Otherwise, the pump could run dry and/or the irrigation system could be starved of water.

[Blue Blade Fish] wanted to build an Arduino-based aquarium controller. He’s detailed the system in (so far) 14 videos and it looks solid. This isn’t just a simple controller, either.
