LawnCheck provides weather dependent irrigation capability using real time weather data. Weather data forecasts are provided by zip code. You can setup your irrigation cycles to stop watering if the weather forecast indicates precipitation at the time that a cycle starts . Also, the EtherRain controller has a rain sensor input and offers a very low cost rain sensor that will also stop irrigation during locally occurring precipitation events.
