A sneak peek
What you'll be able to build
Seven short chapters will take you from a box of cheap, common parts to a garden that waters itself. Here's what's landing — we're finishing each one now.
Before you start
What you'll need on the bench, and the safe, low-voltage approach Stropi takes with your valves.
The parts list
A short, friendly bill of materials — every part common, cheap and easy to source.
Print the enclosure
Two weatherproof parts you can print at home or have made — settings included.
Wire it up
One clear, illustrated diagram takes you from power supply to garden valves.
Flash the firmware
Plug in over USB and flash straight from your browser — no toolchain to install.
Power up & pair
First boot, your Wi-Fi, and a sensible default schedule running out of the box.
Mount outdoors
Where it goes, how to keep the weather out, and then — a garden that waters itself.
The build drops to accounts first.
