Default Citrus tree on lanai

Considering putting a dwarf lemon tree on the lanai. Trouble is, as snowbirds, how to keep it watered in the summer. Anyone aware of an enclosed drip irrigation system, perhaps an inverted water-delivery bottle with a measured drip flow rate?

After more searching around, this is an idea: a timer installed to a hose spigot attached to a drip system, like they did here:
