Hi everyone, I’m working on designing a smart irrigation system for my garden and I’m looking for some expert advice! 
Currently, I have a drilled well in my garden with a pump that connects to an outdoor water tap (1" diameter). I want to eliminate the hassle of dragging hoses around and instead set up a more efficient system. My ideal setup would involve either Gardena water sockets placed throughout the garden (where I can attach sprinklers) or fully automatic pop-up sprinklers that require minimal maintenance.
Here’s what I’m planning:
- Adding another water tap in the garden that provides a constant water supply, sourced from the existing outdoor tap.
- Running underground water pipes (25mm diameter) from the outdoor tap to the new water tap.
- Installing a valve at the new tap to control water flow.
The challenge I’m facing is how to distribute water to multiple sprinklers without overwhelming the pump or creating too much pressure. I’ve considered several options:
- Connecting all sprinklers to a single line, but this might not provide enough water pressure for all areas simultaneously.
- Installing separate lines for each sprinkler, which would be very labor-intensive.
- Using flow regulators or shut-off valves for each sprinkler, but this defeats the purpose of having an automatic system.
I’m also exploring the idea of automating the entire system using IoBroker. This would allow me to set schedules and monitor water usage remotely. However, I’m not sure how to integrate all these components effectively.
If anyone has experience with similar setups or can suggest a more efficient design, I’d greatly appreciate your input! 
Looking forward to hearing your ideas and learning from your experiences. Thanks in advance!
