Post the stuff you are putting in that makes life easier.
I’ll start.
Rachio In ground sprinkler controller. This thing is the ****. My second year with it and I can’t praise it enough. 10 minutes to replace the original unit. Programming via app is a pleasure. It’s without a doubt saved me money on my water bills. This year and last year are hotter than previous years and my bills are lower. I’m tied into a neighbors weather station so the data it recieves is as local as one could get. Recently had to get a couple of heads and a leak addressed. I was out of town but my guys showed up, called me, I told them where on the property to go then turned zones on and off from my phone so they could see the issues. Also Alexa enables so can voice control from the couch. I have a Gen 2 which currently run $150, the Gen3 is $250. The gen 2 is already awesome so I can’t imagine what more the gen 3 could offer for the extra scratch
Today was a couple of Tonbux Outdoor outlets to handle my water features and pergola lights. Each one has multiple sockets. You can control the entire unit via timers, phone app or voice control via Alexa and you can also do all that on an individual socket basis as well. I liked them so much I ordered more.
Have a bunch of enabled light switches going in next.
