Had these airpumps and pressure pumps for a long time and decided to set power plugs on them.
Same with some of the solar panels to have them outside on the balcony or in the yard when I finally found a small house.
2 are already used in DWS systems, going to use the pressure pumps for mini towers. But that probably have to wait until next season.
First step down. All have plugs.
Finished the wooden box from discarded fruit box on the street, added 2 black plastic bags that I had since I moved, put the 2 x 5L water bottles with their Tiny Tim tomato plants in them, used a T split for the airpump and tested it to make sure the flow was enough to keep the roots hydrated preventing them from root rot and will cover the box with aluminum foil before adding the solar panels and voltage regulators into the system.
Already picked 5 cherry tomatoes from the larger plant and the smaller one has some 20+ flowers which I'm hoping to turn into juicy tomatoes soon.
Took longer than expected, but I'm happy about the results.
Next, getting the electrical parts ready.

It has a master socket with current sensing to control the rest of the sockets.
I used to use it with my desktop to turn off all the peripherals when the computer was off.
Adjusted the current level to detect the IKEA LED grow light with an analog timer to control all the other leds, water and airpumps in the kitchen corner I use as my kitchen garden.
It saved me 5 timers as well as small current used by each unit when they are in sleep mode. It's not much, but it helps in the long run.
