Watered yesterday rain?
Gardeners irrigate right after rains. Bills water sky.
1. The problem
Gardeners run sprinklers hours after rainstorms routinely. Bills water skies pointlessly. Timers ignore weather totally. Zones overwater downhill. The hardest part is rainfall-aware skipping simply. A system might run blindly. That uncertainty makes it hard to water wisely.
“Sprinklers water rainstorms here. I need zone logs with skip nudges.”
2. What exists
Rain gauges, smart controllers and memory track rain, while sprinklers run anyway. Controllers cost steeply. A gauge might go unread. There is little help with bed-level rain logs plus skip nudges for gardeners.
3. The solution
The solution could be a water-wise engine. It could log rainfall per zone simply. It could skip cycles automatically. Savings could show monthly. The goal would be bills low, beds moist.
