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.

I have an Orbit B-hyve controller and use a personal weather station that is 2 blocks away. The Rachio has the same capabilities. There are PWSs all over The Villages. If rain is expected the B-hyve puts the irrigation on a 24 hour delay. My system seldom runs in the summer months. And my grass stays green.
