Hello,
Does anyone know how to set up a remote sprinkler where I can control remotely when I travel around the world?
No need to replace the current tap @buyurownflowers. The Holman WX1 Tap Timer and Wi-Fi Hub simply attaches to it. From there, you can add your irrigation pipes and sprinklers, which you can control.

Good morning MitchellMc,
Thank you for reaching out.
Question from me:
How do I
- Schedule power to the Wi-Fi Hub Socket from your smartphone
there is no photo of integrated power socket in the adds.
I am not so tech savvy. Please let me know.
I also attach my tap pictures for your reference.
Cheers,
Thanks for the images @buyurownflowers. The automated tap timer will connect directly to your current tap. No need to replace the tap.

Unless you want to go to the effort of installing a full irrigation system @buyurownflowers, which can get quite fiddly when you have lots of individual pots, the simplest and most reliable option would be a soaker hose. A soaker hose connects directly to your tap timer and can be laid out across the tops of your pots in straight runs, or looped through the garden bed at the front. While it isn’t highly targeted to each individual plant, it’s by far the easiest system to install and manage, especially if you’re heading overseas and want something low-fuss.
You’d simply roll the hose out where you want the water to go, connect it to the tap or timer, and secure it in place. Running it for around 10 to 15 minutes per cycle is usually enough to give pots a good soak, depending on your soil mix and weather. Before you leave, it’s a good idea to test it a few times to make sure all pots and beds are being reached evenly.
The alternative is a full drip irrigation setup with poly pipe and individual drippers to each pot, but that does take more planning, parts, and installation time. For your situation, a soaker hose is likely the most practical and stress-free solution.
