Another App for the house
Slowly, but surely, I'm loading my house up for a crash. A little lightening hitting nearby would not be good for me.
I just added the Wyze Sprinkler to my ensemble. First of all I HATE Rainbird watering controllers. They are way too complex. I've had half a dozen over the years and still can not work one. They include tech for an 18 hole golf course/English garden when I could better use a on/off valve. The latest from Wyze is simpler.
And, of course, cool that I can turn on/off the watering from my phone. "Honey, I hear someone in the yard!!... {reaches over from the bed to his phone, turns on all the sprinklers} ... yelling from the yard.
But Wyze is reaching for a better way. They integrate all sources from the Internet to monitor weather and automate your schedule to better keep the yard watered correctly without wasting any. That was a $10/year subscription but I was an early adopter so I get the first three years free. Weather based watering.
I suspect there will be some adjustments but I'm generally thrilled.
