It's not the length, it's not the size, it's how many times you can make it rise [emoji6]

What sort of Sprinkler system

[MyGU8]

The sprinkler heads are of Toro (backyard) and Hunter (frontyard) with microsprays for garden beds. All with about 7 zones.

The solenoids for each zones are controlled via eight Triacs (7 zones + 1 master valve) connected to a micro-controller (Atmega328P), which is connected to the microserver via FTDI serial-USB converter.

The purpose of this setup is to control the system via web which can be accessed through your smartphone.

Mate you would fit in well over here in Millparkistan. Do you wear you cap backwards, have the doof doof up loud and recline the drivers seat so far your looking out the rear window? If so you'd be a local here. And the go snails pace, on an angle over speed humps here too. Drives me nuts i just wanna run them over.

So in theory I could use this type of setup for activate sprinklers 2 help defend my house should there be a bush fire while I'm not at home?

What sort of cost would be involved?

Certainly you can, but you have to remember with any system there's a risk involved (including the system not working when required) and it will be high on homemade systems.

Cost wise around $100 for the controller only, you will need sprinklers and other things.
You may need a Raspberry Pi, as mine is connected to HP Microserver, Internet and powersupply.

Do not rely on anything electrical to help fight a fire as power is the first thing to go out

Oh yeah ofcourse that's exactly what I do, that's the only thing a street car owner does. But when I'm in my patrol I fit in better over here where there isn't as many townie 4wd owners that spend more time buying parts and talking about their cars than driving them. Drives me nuts and I just want to throw mud at them.

Thanks, I'm already aware of that and was more looking at a defense if I was not home and could activate if before power or mobile reception was lost.

You can do so many things with Arduino. Most of them even can be operated without main power (i.e. only battery operated).
If you consider something is better than nothing, then in addition to internet connected system, it can be configured as a standalone system where you can plant some sensors around your house to trigger the sprinklers automatically - without your intervention.

In general micro-controllers are very reliable compare to computer systems (Micro processors), but again mine is only a home made system which with limited testing (as only me) I am not sure what other things can possibly go wrong.

So I must reiterate again that you MUST consider the risks involved and mindful of on depending on such systems as a reliable defense mechanism.

I also had a look at setting up something similar. Good idea to use Mineral Insulated Metal Sheathed (MIMS) conductors and gal piping above ground if you wish to keep your fire suppression system operating. It would only benefit you if you had your own power source too as power is usually cut in the event of a fire. You could use the controller to isolate your system from your mains power and start and connect your own power source.

Now Ive done 285 kph on a bike but no way breathing
you would get me doing 140kph plus with my butt 3" off the ground.
respect to you for doing it and well going by the trophys

Cheers mate. 3" what are you talkng about?? The seat in that kart was set at 20mm off the ground at operating tyre pressures with me in it :)

Guards are wide and flared fibreglass. Front and back ends have been cut down. 31x10.5 kumho muddies on the rear and 205x75 15r on the front
