I am wanting to make something that allows me to open a valve to turn water on or off. I am wanting to figure out a way to make my system somehow that would use maybe an alarm clock or some sort of digital timer to send a signal to a receiver that then would open/close a valve. I guess it's kind of like a sprinkler system in a sense. I know I can just go out and buy something like that but I want to make a project out of it and see if I can use some of the stuff I've learned so far in Engineering to make something like this. If anyone has any ideas of how this could work, or if there is any schematics that might help, or simply some details I am missing please let me know.
Assume I know nothing because I'm not even sure the complexity of this. The things I have thought I might need to know about is the timer, signal sender and receiver, any schematics for a circuit that would be needed, if there is any sort of programming that would need to be written for a chip. I don't know if I'm even on the right track here. Thanks for any or criticism help ahead of time.
