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

Watering is only one issue. I am growing a Kaffir lime tree (AKA Makrut Thai lime) for my wife, starting it from a shoot five years ago. It lives in a large pot. It didn't do that wonderfully indoors but really took off when I moved it to the south side of our house where it got sun for most of the day: sunlight was limited in the lanai to maybe 6-8 hours per day no matter where we located it.
