I see no need for a WIFI controlled system. I think there is way too much discussion and concern about controlling the watering schedule. Set it and forget it. If you lawn turns brown, make some adjustments in the watering times. Irrigation water is cheap.
The wifi part is mainly for the controller to get the weather information so it knows not to water when there is a high probablity of rain coming. Other than that, you are right. I only use the remote when I'm checking my system.
