Remote Control Circuit Board

Anyone smart when it comes to wiring remote control boards? I'm wanting to build a remote system for my pressure washing. I currently have one already but want to offer a more budget friendly option to people wanting to get into the remote side of fleet washing. Anyone here an electronics guru that could help out? I'd be running normally closed solenoids so they have to be energized to open to allow soap to flow thru. But I would want to have the first solenoid close if I click the 2nd solenoid button. Is this something hard to figure out? Any great youtube videos you can point me to?

Sounds like something you could do with a Raspberry Pi

Probably would need to be tech/coding savy

Don't think Pi would work.

Arduino or Pi would be what you are looking for in my opinion, but I don't know enough about what you are looking to do, nor am I a programmer.

This is what I am looking at getting. The receiver is around $550 and the remote is $300, total of $850.

I don't know what Pi is....I thought it had something to do with watching TV. I'm just looking for something to open and close solenoids so I can apply soap at high pressure

Pi is a programmable circuit board. Same with Arduino.
Schools use them to teach basic programming.
