BUT, that sensor is totally worthless for future precipitation. If the controller is set to run on say early Monday mornings and there is rain forecasted for Monday afternoon you’ll be needlessly watering and wasting water and money. The Rachio controller will skip a programmed schedule if rain is in the forecast. The Hunter can probably be configured to also work that way but I found the Rachio controller to be so much more user friendly. My Rachio paid for itself in water savings in a little over a year.
