A lot of people tend to overwater their lawns. I still use the original Hunter controller, but I have disabled the seasonal adjustment and the rain sensor. If it rains for several days, I just turn off the entire system for a few weeks. If my lawn starts to turn brown, I turn the system back on. I am now using less water than I did when the system ran automatically. I would not trust an Internet weather service to control my irrigation system.
