I think the concept is that as temperatures rise and daylight increases during the summer, more irrigation is required. Conversely, less required in the winter. The Sync program takes into account the daylight hours, temperature and recent rains to reduce irrigation when it should not be needed. In addition, it can be ‘fine tuned’ by reducing the adjustment factor for your particular installation.

Of course, the other option is to keep a close eye on the soil moisture and make manual adjustments.
I agree that the concept is good, but I discovered that it just didn't work.
