Watering the garden?
![obeliks](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/50fb0798a41f75fb7ba6f6d19afee0d8/?default=https%3A%2F%2Fvanillicon.com%2F50fb0798a41f75fb7ba6f6d19afee0d8_50.png&rating=g&size=50)
It's simple to tell the sunscreens to go up, because Buienradar is telling us that it is going to rain in 10 minutes.
But, what when I want to automate the watering of the garden?
For example: It is dry and sunny and hot for 4 days: so turn on sprinklers...
Anyone an idea?

1. Flow:
When Buien Radar It starts raining -> Countdown Start Timer: Rain for 345600 seconds (4days)
2. Flow:
When Countdown Rain reaches 0 -> Turn Sprinklers on.
But maybe we could extend this smart countdown trick to account for mm's rain fallen?
But is there a possibility to use a humidity sensor which I can 'stab' in the ground?
