To quote a personal example, a colleague has many potted plants which she has been nurturing for years. She had a problem every time she went on a holiday - watering the plants. She ordered a remote control switch and an electronics timer separately from EBay. She rigged them up together and connected a perforated hose pipe feeding all the pots. When the solenoid valve releases water for a predetermined time (set by the timer through the remote switch) her plants can thrive even in her absence. To quote a cliche - what you can do is limited only by your imagination !
