How do you power the pico? #2

Sorry I know it's not the right place to comment, but I wanna know how you powered the pico? Since it's outside and probably not near a power outlet?

No worries - I'm not too fussy about using github! :)

My water meter is actually in my basement, right beside a power outlet. If yours is outside, you probably would want to get something like a GFCI outlet, and power the pico w from a 5V extension cord, but check with your local code.
