The blumats have a 30gal resevoir with a pH controller. This has basically cut my weekly work in half. I just top off the res every couple weeks.
That's a 3x3 tray, so that leaves 6 inches on all sides for some pavers to hold up those shelves. I use a transfer pump and wand to feed from 5gal buckets and then pump the runoff out of the tray back into a bucket for reuse outside for my strawberries.
Edit: Here's what it looks like from above
I got mine off Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IQXFBWA/ref=s9_acsd_al_bw_c_x_1_w
This is the exact system I’m using.

It didn’t seem to interfere. Although I did have 1 over water incident 2/3rds or the way through maybe the roots prevented it from sensing saturation. After I reset the dial it was fine hmmmm.
Blumats, it's a drip kit but the carrot that is in the ground there senses how wet the soil is and you can set it to maintain the same moisture level so it never gets too wet or dry. It's pressure fed, so you just need a res with a little fish tank aerator and little pump to keep everything moving.
Got it cause I was going away for a few days and my coco needed to be watered every day... so nice not having to mix nutes every day as an added bonus. Definitely worth it.

this is my first time hearing about blumat. can you describe which tote resevoir you use, and how you connect the reservoir to blumat? I saw this kit:
https://www.amazon.com/Blumat-Deck-Planter-5-Pack-Starter/dp/B00IQXFBWA/
But it looks like one still need to get the reservoir the tubing/connectors for the reservoir?

Or go to any hydro / garden store, blumat or drip irrigation
In practice your plants can probably dry out if it's about a week. Two weeks and they might not come back.
This is the system you want https://www.amazon.com/Blumat-Automatic-Watering-Sensors-Starter/dp/B00IQXFBWA/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1541090568&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=blumat&dpPl=1&dpID=41dHaopxgeL&ref=plSrch
