Installed a b-hyve 4 zone unit from Lowes $69.95 downloaded the app and paired it to my phone. Easiest electronic device I have ever set up. Now I can control my irrigation system from anywhere in the country. Sets its own delays when rainy or you can delay it from app for however long you want. Has multiple seasonal program functions. Great device.

Sounds like a great idea and you can walk around your yard, turn on each zone
to check for leaks from your phone.

Now if they only had a system that would detect heads and water leaks.
