Why not just get a smart sprinkler controller and forget about it. If you don’t, you will be 1 of the thousands of homes watering your lawns while we are getting a downpour. Then, if you want the deluxe setup, I got my own PWS that my SMART sprinkler controller runs off of. I know exactly how much rain I have received, what the prediction of rail is and how much rain we are supposed to get, then the smarts of the controller will operate off all of those stats and run each zone for the appropriate number of days for a specific amount of time per zone.
With these smart devices, you can turn on restrictions so if it needs watering, you only water on these days, or you have no restrictions on which days to water on and it will run when it needs too. I click on the calendar for the coming month and I can see exactly when it’s going to water, and for how long of time per zone. It updates this calendar everyday because the weather is unpredictable. I’ve used these in my last 3 houses and have converted a dozen friends over to them
