Don't see how it would work, though. Sprinklers are set-up to be
heat triggered in that they have a piece of metal that melts at a
selected temperature to open the valve (which is one reason I always get
a kick when whole buildings of sprinkler kick on at once in the movies
or on TV). In an open-air area like a balcony, it would be hard for
ambient temperature to get high enough to trigger the sprinklers.
