Rachio has both 8- and 16-zone controllers

I can run it easily from my phone or desktop, just doesn't work very well with my Amazon Alexa or with Apple SmartHome.

Anyone have a WiFi enabled sprinkler system they love? I want one that allows you to manually program as well.

Main advantage for Bhyve over Rachio is you can manually program it if needed

I get that. My worry is, if the app is no longer supported, I don’t want my device to be bricked. That’s basically what

I want the dumb system incorporated as a backup in case the smart system becomes unavailable
