What a coincidence! I'm planning an automatic watering system for my Chicken Coop right now! Since the water needs to stay at a constant level, I'm thinking of using a flow valve and a bucket. PVC piping at the bottomwill go into the coop and be connected to a nipple system for the chickens. Still working out what I'll use to keep the above ground pipes from freezing in the Winter. The coop has electricity, so I could possibly use heat tape.

The Teflon tape you used on the treads are used as a lubricant, not for sealing anything, the type of thread that's used seals by simply being screwed on deep enough for the tread to seal against itself. The tape just helps with that by being slippery. It also helps prevent corrosion and such and you get different types of tape for different metals. It's a common misconception, but otherwise it's still needed in the end.

You can fit a pair of rain gutters directly to the greenhouse to refill the tank in situ. And add capacity with another container with a syphon system (a filled hose between them. Also the garden hose can be replaced with drip watering hosing which have plugs to regulate the amount of water in each one and save even more water (and unwanted growing weeds.

Building an automated greenhouse has been on my todo list all year. With your video i have no excuse to not get started. More important to me was the previous video though about the wind turning it into a kite. I wouldnt have thought of it and been devestated if i built one only for it to get ruined by a storm.

Nice!
One thing though. At 10: 15 I was wondering why you didn't secure the container? If you experience another storm, your greenhouse will be fine but all the watering electronics will rip right off.
Besides, the container is not guaranteed to be full so it's own weight can anchor it!

You might also add a line of deep shelfs on a second level at 140 cm cause the sun arrives in a non vertical angle so both levels can live with that amount of sun and heat offering a lot more opportunities too.
The hotter space in the upper half will let grow some plants faster or better.

My solution was to go with sub irrigated planters every day I have the pump run and with valves I insure the resovour of each set of plants gets water enough, using this method nothing gets over watered, and the plants take what they need.

If you make a complete circle for your watering hose, you won't get a drop in pressure for your system. Your feed line will need to tee into the circle, but you should be able to find the fittings to do so.

4: 33 So simple I'm surprise someone hasn't scrap it and slapped crappy IOT software and hardware into it and made it trash. Looks at all the iot devices on sale there all/mostly trash xD
