I have seen the wifi - weather recommendation often here. Unless you set up a personal weather station and use that for input, it seems silly. Rain is very often very local. Even if you use the your own station, you still may be watering just in advance of heavy rain, but you won't likely know in advance. KISS.

Good advice on the watering schedules. They can also be found on districtgov.org. (Services->Utilities->Irrigation Schedules)
I do not have a personal weather station. It seems silly to try to compete with all the other stations around and the professional information from the NWS.
As I understand it my Hunter uses a "virtual" station which aggregates information from multiple physical stations in my area as well as professional forecasts to predict what has, or will, happen over my house. It appears to be accurate and has worked well for me.
