This is how my lawn burned up last summer. The rain forecast downloaded to the sprinkler controller server saw 50% chance of rain and put in a rain delay. No rain ever showed up for a month, and the sprinklers didn't water for a month.

Be warned that automated sprinkler settings for rain delays have to be set pretty high percentage forecast, or turned off completely, and water when raining. . doesn't matter it will just recycle the retention pond water. . .

YMMV
