I am on my second home with rain sensor and they are a basic shut off if it’s raining and that is all. I have the Hunter with smart controller and it’s nice for when heavy rain is predicted the next day and the watering is scheduled for the night before it will skip based on that weather prediction. The above comment on the Hunter not working was because it takes some adjustments in the settings for the weather prediction to get it right. Example, I rolled back the no watering trigger based on weather forecast to 50 percent vs 70 percent default.
