I only snowbirded for a year, but yes it's typical to leave the irrigation system on. No irrigation and an abnormally dry/hot summer wouldn't be good. I changed out my irrigation controller to a b-hyve which can control from your smart phone. I never had any problem with access to the b-hyve (i.e. dropped wifi etc) in the year I snowbirded or the four years since.
