I have found their reliability something to be desired. Keep in mind they depend on moisture to activate them. In this hot Florida sun they dry out quickly. If it rains today by late tomorrow they may have dried out enough to permit the sprinklers to operate.
Like another poster here, I operate mine manually. I also manually operate a snowbird neighbor's manually. I watch our lawns and when they start to show stress I turn them on and turn them off the next day.
