Hello, This project is wonderful, thanks for all the good work. I have a sprinkler system in an area where people often sit in my backyard. If possible, I would really love to see this program have an option to play a .mp3 file to alert people that the sprinkler system is starting.

This could probably be easily implemented with something like "MPG321", a lightweight command line based MP3 Player. http://mpg321.sourceforge.net/

I do wish I could contribute this myself but I am no coder. Thanks again for all the work done on this project.

You could make zone 1 relay trigger an external device with no programming required.

Much simpler than I would have thought of. Thanks! Will try that.

a pre/post execution hook would be cool too... e.g. do this before executing.
