SIP Irrigation Control

SIP is a Raspberry Pi‑based Python program that runs on Linux to control irrigation hardware such as sprinklers, drip lines, hydroponic systems, pumps and lights. It provides a web‑based user interface built with JavaScript and jQuery, accessible from desktop, laptop or mobile browsers, and supports multiple languages. The core software can be extended through a plugin system, with available plugins for MQTT, Node‑RED, mobile app integration, shell command execution and status signaling.

The platform is designed for DIY installations, offering several hardware interfaces including GPIO‑connected relay boards, HATs, OpenSprinkler boards and a DIY relay interface that can drive many stations with few pins. While primarily targeted at Raspberry Pi models, limited support exists for BeagleBone Black and Odroid‑C2. Users can control and monitor the system via HTTP GET requests, and plugins enable communication with other automation tools.

SIP is released under the GPL‑3.0 license, is self‑hostable, free‑tier and subscription‑free, and encourages community contributions through translations, plugins, bug reports and discussions. Its modular design allows programmers to add custom functionality without altering the core code.
