I had to use some adapters to fit it to my system - the top fresh water connection is a 1" outside diameter (with an adapter to 3/4" inside diameter thread) and the bottom outlet is a 1/2" outside diameter thread with a Gardena (used a lot in Europe and Germany) style quick connect adapter included.
I am using BQ05 valves flashed with Tasmota: https://templates.blakadder.com/irrigation_timer_BQ05.html
They have been running drip irrigation for my raised beds for a couple of weeks now. Their wifi is kind of weak though, I needed to install an outdoor repeater to improve connection stability.
Edit: Using MQTT the valves appear als simple switches in home assistant and are easy to automate.
Thankfully taking it apart is really easy, takes no time at all.
Yeah lemmy is still a bit rough around the edges for me too sometimes, still better than the official reddit client though ;)
