Wi-Fi here, there and everywhere

Posted on May 15, 2024


Wi-Fi is good in your house; it is good in public places and it is good on airplanes. But in a garage for a sprinkler system? Well, Mr. Ken says absolutely!

The workings of any sprinkler system escape me. Where is the on/off switch? Why are there so many buttons?

Here is the old-school sprinkler system controller. Even though it is “old school,” it looks pretty complicated to me. Why are so many buttons needed? Shouldn’t there just be on “on/off” switch?

There were quite a lot of tools required to install the new thingie.

Here is the finished Wi-Fi product that replaces the old school one, with a smiling Mr. Ken next to it. The Wi-Fi box thingie looks like a little spaceship, especially with that flashing blue light. According to Mr. Ken this new Wi-Fi system can do just about anything, including cooking dinner. (Hah, just kidding about dinner.)

So, where do you have Wi-Fi?
