• How long or often do you run your sprinkler?

  I have a Rachio 3 controller (https://rachio.com/) for my 5 zone yard. WiFi/internet connected and uses what they call "weather sense". It monitors the forecasts and also takes current temp, chance of precip and wind speeds into consideration so I tell it the days to water (M/T/T/F) and how long to water each zone and it will run accordingly, including automatically reducing/extending running times as the weather...
