I have a Rachio and I tried letting it use the weather to adjust my schedule. I’m part time so not there to see every drop of rain. Well my lawn almost died and luckily my lawn guy said it wasn’t getting enough water.

The problem with the weather reports seem to be that it adjusts on the forecast and not actual rain. In addition to that, we all know that a neighbor 2 houses away can be getting a downpour while your house has nothing.

I put mine on a schedule and if I know we got a bunch of rain I’ll adjust. But I don’t always remember.

Plus our irrigation is reclaimed water. It is basically going right back where it came from.
