Personally, I like the Rachio 3.
Call Chuck, he can install one for you if you can't do it yourself.

I have the bhyve and lost part of my lawn due the difference between the forecast and actual rainfall. The forecast never materialized for my lawn, and the watering never happened last august during the high temperatures. . Tech automation is not infallible, so I had to program the bhyve to assume that the forecast was only 20% accurate. .
I would check the bhyve forecast against the television forecast, and there was a huge difference, so the automation is only as good as the forecast happens at your house.
you would know garbage in garbage out. .
