My home has 19 sprinkler zones and the builder installed the Rainbird ESP-Me controller.
It doesn't currently have the wifi-module installed.
Does anyone have an opinion on the effectiveness of their auto-watering based on weather compared to Rachio's?
It is my understanding that to replace w/the Rachio I'd need two units - an 8 zone and a 16 zone - and this scenario can be difficult to deal with because their app can't integrate the two for a single harmonious schedule.
Since its already installed/paid for, I'm leaning towards adding the Rainbird wifi-module and wait until Rachio comes out w/a larger control unit. However if Rainbird's software is good enough to match the Rachio it would make sense to never switch.
