Thanks for the rundown, that’s a good piece of information re: the NiMh batteries.

This can greatly increase your Wi-Fi’s footprint:

It is simple to set up also. I highly recommend it.

My Wifi coverage is excellent around the house. However, the BHyve Orbit timers will only talk to their BHyve hub. I bought one hub but I am not about to pay for another hub.

Among the things I've learned. The timers automatically add weather delay based on very loose weather conditions. By default, they will add weather delay on 30% chance of rain and .05 inch of rain. I bumped that way up to 80% and 0.25 inch of rain. Good thing I saw the notification for delay on the app and cancel the delay through the internet.
The last few days of 97-98 deg F and sunny weather forced me to adjust watering cycles. So far so good.

One more thing: I use my big gumbo pot and get the water close to boiling then cut the tightly coiled 1/4" tube to length. Dropping the hose in one at a time and fish it out with tongs. A slight pull through and the hose straightens out nicely. No more fighting with those coils.

Yeah... that is one thing I disabled on my yard Rainbird system. I added a rain sensor, it adjusts after .25" and turns off the system after 1" of rain a week.

I was gone for 10 days right in the midst of a heat wave. Yet all the trees are healthy when I get back.
I did overwatered a bit so the back yard is wet!

I just received my water bill. Oh my goodness!
Hmmmm....
