Hi guys,
I want to water 5min and light 12hours my plant per day. The problem is that I want it random.
For example 2hours light, then shut down, then 1h32 light etc... the same for water.
I have an arduino nano with RTC DS3132 and two relays 220V and this is the code I used for the beginning.
#include <DS3231.h>
#include <Wire.h>
/*
DS3231: Real-Time Clock. Alarm simple
