Some of you may have heard of the battery operated Contech Scarecrow and Orbit Yard Defender motion sensor sprinklers you attach to a garden hose to deter pests such as stray cats, deer etc..
Instead of having a garden hose laying out 24/7, I would like to rig up my existing in-ground lawn irrigation to fire off from motion detection and then turn off again after less than a minute or even less than 10 seconds if possible.
What would required to rig this up? I want to be able to rig it up so I can set exclusion dates and times for when the lawn is going to be mowed or other activities near the lawn are scheduled.
Here are some photos of the existing Irritrol set up.
