No. If the forecast calls for rain after you water, your sensor will still water (waters at 3am, and rains at 6am, while Rachio won't water, and send you a notification. If the forecast is wrong, you can still water manually. It's capable of setting multiple schedules, with or without weather intelligence or other features, and you can use compatible rain sensors. A couple of nights ago, it notified me that it skipped a scheduled watering because of soil conditions, but I wanted to water anyway, so I just added a watering the next night. You can download a demo app for your smartphone and see how the app works.
