Abstract: An electronic control unit for programmed watering of lawns, gardens, flower boxes and similar spaces, comprises a front panel, a display, watering program selection push-buttons for selecting the watering duration and the watering repetition frequency and at least one start push-button for starting the selected program. The control unit comprises an electronic micro controller which, in response to the operation of said selection push-buttons, controls the visualization of the duration and frequency of the selected program and, in response to a single operation of the start push-button, controls the immediate start of the selected watering program. If the start push-button is operated for a variable number of times, the micro controller programs the delayed start of the selected program.

The control units comprise an electronic micro controller which in response to the operation of said push-button causes the visualization of the duration and the frequency of the selected program, and in response to a single operation of the start push-button causes the immediate start of the selected watering program, while the operation of the start push-button for a variable number of times programs the delayed start of the selected program.

Abstract: A programmable drive and control assembly (2) for a solenoid valve, in particular for irrigation systems is described. The assembly (2) comprises a drive solenoid (7) for a hydraulic valve (1), a programmable electronic control device (10) for said solenoid (7), and a containment box (8, 23) for said solenoid (7) and said programmable electronic control device (10). The containment box (8, 23) comprises a box-like body (8) removably fixable to said hydraulic valve (1) and an at least partially transparent closing cover (23) screwed at the upper end of said box-like body (8) with the interposition of a fluid-tight annular gasket (25).
