This used to be a great controller until recently. Weather adjust would automatically skip your scheduled watering if rain was expected. It was an included feature. Now you have to pay $30 for that feature. It's ridiculous to have to now pay for a feature I've been used to having for 3 years now!

I love being able to test my system while walking around my property and being able to stop & start it from my phone to make adjustments. As well as being tied into my local weather to stop or run depending on my actual weather. Also being able to run the system even when you aren't home, for example if you're traveling and you see your home area may need more watering, you can activate your system from anywhere!

The app has improved some but I can't believe I still can't schedule a run once without creating a whole schedule for one day. Their "smart" schedules don't work for me here and it's very inflexible when you have to water on specific days. You can finally set a schedule to run on specific days that repeats annually, but the date picker doesn't work quite right. There are two or three different settings for how long to water for a zone and it's is really confusing. Still needs work Edited

This controller & app may be great for the homeowner. It is not contractor friendly. You need a contractor app to add customers to it. The HO has to give us access through an email which usually is the office, which means for my employee to run the system, I have to forward the email to their personal email or to their work phone, if they have one. And you only see 1 zone at a time there's no back button. I have to x out of it, open the email and click on it again to get a

Decent app design and basic features work as expected so long as you don't depend on its inaccurate smart features. Depending on an app though is always a bad thing. An old outage due to AWS requests overflow meant you could not access app. Edit: They stopped web API support meaning future outages will render your controller useless. The new heat wave boost cannot be edited on my phone. Support told me to access it from web but it's not there; no more web updates and a buggy app. stay clear! Edited
