After putting so much work into the repair of our irrigation system over the past week, I decided to replace our antiquated controller with a modern wi-fi connected unit.  In addition to enabling control from our phones and computers, the software keeps track of temperature, rainfal,l and humidity to reduce water use when possible.  I installed the unit in less than an hour. Identifying, mapping, and programming all eleven zones in our system took another two. Going forward the system should operate with almost zero intervention while saving thousands of gallons of water.
