Okay, so I was skeptical at first about dropping $100 on this little wifi dongle for my Rain Bird controller. Like, do I REALLY need to control my sprinklers from bed? Turns out... YES. Absolutely yes.

The installation was stupid easy - just popped it into my TRU controller (didn't even have to power down!). The app setup took a couple tries (pro tip: use 2.4GHz WiFi), but once connected? Game changer.

Being able to tweak schedules from my phone while drinking coffee > crouching in the garage squinting at tiny buttons. The weather-based adjustments actually work too - saved me from watering right before a storm last week.

Only gripe? The Alexa integration is kinda janky. But for pure app control? 10/10 would smartify my sprinklers again.
