Easiest way to water indoor plants. Is there a pump or something I could get for my 5gal bucket ?
You can get a pump, timer, and drip tubes. You'll need to have something like an airstone in the reservoir to keep the O2 saturation high and stir up the mix. You'll have to experiment with it to get the timing down right so as not to overwater or underwater. Set up a catch tray under your pots to catch the runoff so the pots are not sitting in stagnant water. Run drip to waste.

I experimented with this last summer, and I decided that for just a few plants, it's not worth the trouble. Lots of potential for leaks and other issues I don't need. You still have to deal with the runoff so it's not set it and forget it. If you have lots of plants then it may be worthwhile but for the typical home grow, I would save your time and money.

Automatically watering is one of the best improvements I've made in my chamber. Gotta be careful not to flood though. It's nice to fill it up and let it go for a week

You can easily set up a auto removal system for runoff.

Poke a hole in the bottom of the runnoff tray. Shove some drip system tubing in the hole and gravity does the rest.

Yes, I could do lots of things, but in my case, it's not worth it. I tried, it was a pain. Shop vac does the job.

No leaks. No mess. No problem.

Cool you do you. But it doesn't change the fact that its feasible which was the point for TS.
