It probably wouldn't be too hard to write an iOS program to send commands via USB or WiFi, but you need to control water valves and I'm not sure if you'll find any/many with USB interfaces. If not you would need to build some circuitry to convert USB signals to whatever kind of control signals your valves need.
It could be a fun project, but I wouldn't call it "without significant effort".
- fakedang 4y agoBy IOS program, do you mean some app-like interface? Or is there a way to run something like Python or C++ code as there is in Android?
- tgflynn 4y agoWhat I meant was a program written in one of the languages Apple supports for iOS development. I'm no iOS expert and it's been years since I've developed an app for it so I'm not sure exactly what is available these days. For me the electronics would be a larger consideration than the software, but then I have a lot more experience developing software than I do building circuits. EDIT: I missed that you mentioned C++. The app I wrote for iOS did use some C++ code but it was still necessary to have code in Objective-C/C++ to provide a UI and interact with the OS. As for Python a quick google search turned up a couple of possibilities which are linked from this page: https://www.python.org/download/other/ https://www.python.org/download/other/
