I need a way to control an outdoor water tap by remote control from inside

What am I looking for? I’m sure there are things that do just what I want but I don’t have a clue what to search for. If you nice folks give me a device name, I can find it from there.

Please and thank you and promises that I will try to get a pic of me using it to stop the neighbor’s cat from chasing the birds I feed in our yard.

So domestic terrorism, basically?

Are these sorts of things what you want?

My version of a kinder and gentler Department of Homeland Security.

I looked at your link and don’t think they will work, I want a wireless remote. Handheld or attached to my cell phone would work.

Maybe something like this?

YES!!! That is just the sort of gizmo I want!

Thank you so much!

I don’t want to hurt the cats, I just want to deter them from hanging out around our feeders. They also look handy for adjusting the clover sprinklers without walking back and forth from bib to viewing distance.

Look at this one - you don’t have to trigger it:

Amazing! Even better because I won’t be watching out the windows all the time. Thank you!

Of course, now the chances of me getting a pic of cats being sprayed are very low, but the birds will be happy.

As long as they don’t spray the birds with a shot of water each time they try to land and snarf up some bird food, yeah.

Surely this is more fun?
