Hi

I am an electrical engineer and also fairly adept at things electronic.
I know little about the capabilities of IPhones but I see quite a bit of news about using them with the appropriate app to remotely turn on/off things such as washing machines, air conditioning etc.

I would like to remotely turn on/off my garden watering system.
So my question is: How could the above remote control be adapted to this purpose which involves turning on/off the watering system power. Are stand alone receiving devices (such as they have in washing machines etc) available to be adaptable to my purpose?

Cheers Peter
