I am connected to one that is 0.1 mile away but there are five as close as 0.5 miles away. I find this a lot more accurate and they also have rain gauges that you can see if you are wondering how much rain we received. It works well being north for my last summer before being full time this September.
Ahh, found it. Thanks. I read about that before but could not find it in the settings. Thanks for the detailed description. I've updated to a station 1.5 miles away. I've also put it back on the flex daily schedule. Now that we are finally getting rain I can water let the system do it's thing.
