[chbot] electronic valves for a garden sprinkler project.

[Chris Hellyar]

Accent Hydroponics off the sockburn round about have some options there.
I've used some from there ages ago for a greenhouse water misting
system.  (like 8 years ago?)

Also irrigation places will have some options, ring around and avoid
brand name stuff like rainbird unless you've got a large-arse
budget. ;-).

Generally they are 24V ac, so will need triac drivers, or small relays
to do the job.  not a biggie electronically though.

Cheers, Chris H.
