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.
@RonHenry
@RonHenry 3 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.

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.

@@RonHenry No doubt. Love your content. You're a techie like me so you may spend hours playing with the app. A smart controller made life a lot easier. especially whan out.of town. Only recommendation I have is to get a personal weather station next. Didn't think I needed it unti I got one. Now I use it combined with the weather forecast to determine if I hit my minimum amount of rain and observe weather trends for my specific property. It also connects with my controller too
