I put in my own sprinkler system 15 years ago. All professional Rain Bird components. The timer is fully programmable, and it has a rain and freeze sensor. I don't doubt there are times when I might water a little bit more than really needed, but not often. Most summers I just set it and forget it. Last year was a record hot and dry summer. I don't remember having to modify the timer program much.

In the winter I run a different program.

With all that said I do have my home security system hooked to the internet. I can remotely turn the system on or off and watch the video surveillance feeds on my phone. I understand the gadget factor of internet access to your system.
