I have a Rachio Gen2 and it works great but I keep wanting to upgrade my tech anyway. My issue is the Rachio looks at local weather stations for rain but in FL our rain is sporadic so I need onsite data.
@RonHenry3 жыл бұрын
If the Rachcio supports adding a local station that could work. Pretty sure the Hunter supports it adding a local station for the best possible control.
@Erock5093 жыл бұрын
I too like to try new tech. I just don't think I can rely on a local weather station or even this unit that says it monitors local radar. I have a rainbird controller with the wifi module and have had no issues. My on site data is my wireless rain sensor that can be put anywhere. Can't beat that.
