Okay, so I was skeptical at first about dropping $100 on this little wifi dongle for my Rain Bird controller. Like, how often would I REALLY use an app to water my lawn? Turns out... ALL THE TIME.

The installation was stupid easy - just popped it into my TRU controller (which sits awkwardly low on my house exterior). No more crouching like a goblin to reprogram zones!

The app is surprisingly robust. Being able to:

• Create rain delays from my couch
• See weather-adjusted schedules
• Run single zones when testing new plants

has been game-changing. The Alexa integration is kinda clunky though - I just use the app.

Pro tip: Make sure your router's 2.4GHz band is strong near your controller. Mine needed a booster, but now it works flawlessly from anywhere (even checked it on vacation!).

Worth every penny if you have multiple zones or like tinkering with schedules. My lawn's never looked better!
