Hi, im from spain, i have got my installation working now for 2 months but i just discovered this forum. As this section is empty i will start showing my setup, i am open to any ideas to improve it.
My setup has to controll 4 zones, as extra i also controll the garage door.
This is my Raspberry B+ and an 8 chanel rellay board

To hold both components inside the box I designed and 3D printed a support. The relay board is slightly tilted so that its easier to connect the cables.
Some renders of the design, and how its spected to look like:

After 8 hours of printing, i had my piece:

looks cool in orange
The raspberry mounted on the piece:

Everything inside the waterproof box

Once all GPIOs were wired it was time to connect it to the valves.
I use 24V AC valves from my old system.
A fifth relay will be used to open and close the garage door, as my motor has an open/close input
The wiring is nearly done
The black-taped cable will be the 24V AC input and the white cable will hace the outputs to the valves, and the garage door.

I retired my old timer, and in its place i screwed my new super-timer.

This is how it finally looks when its all closed:

EXTRAS
As the door can be opend and closed remotly I installed this photosensor so that the door cant be closed while there is something in its path
this is the reciver side:

this is the emitter side, and under this, in the black box there is a magentic sensor so that the raspberry knows when the door is opened or closed.

The sensor inside the box looks like this, the box was printed to protect it from water and sun

This is the disgn of one of the boxes

This is my plugin at work, the webacam is not working at the moment, as i needed it for other projects but i will eventually replace it.
