If you get a ‘smart’ irrigation controller, use it in ‘smart’ mode, don’t run it in ‘dumb’ mode.
I run my b-hyve in smart mode with no programs set, it uses the smarts inside of the unit, link to the nearest government or personal weather station nearby, or your own personal weather station.
I installed my own personal weather station and my b-hyve runs the zones when it needs to: when they turn on, how long each zone runs, and it puts itself in delay mode for days weeks depending on rain chances in the near future.
