Amazon.com : RainMachine Mini-8, Cloud Independent, The Forecast Sprinkler, Wi-Fi Irrigation Controller, 2nd Generation : Patio, Lawn & Garden

I have one of those and the problem with them is that when rain is forecast it NEVER rains RIGHT HERE. It pours or rains 2 miles or sometimes 6 blocks away away but not here. Haven't had a correct prediction yet. If I had gone along with it my lawn would NEVER have been watered.

Problem is, rain here is so "spot located" and weather forecasting can't possibly be that accurate you're better off doing it the old fashion way .... stick your arm out the door or put out a plastic cup. At least the sensor (when it works) is right at your location and not relying on a weather report for the "general area".
