I also like the remote feature so I can adjust the heads without running back and forth to the garage, and when I had a new sensor installed a few months ago, it was going to be around $130 to install a remote, so for an extra $70, I got the remote that not only works by smart phone, I can actuate it by voice with Amazon Echo. So, I when I think about it, I guess I'm happy with my return on investment, but I'm not saying it's for everyone. You probably have to be some what computer literate to use it. By the way, I bought your filter and love it, but I bought it 'cause I wanted it, and thought it would work, but never considered the investment factor.

Can you turn on a zone remotely to get someone out of your yard???
