Here's one that's more of a scheduling service than a gadget: www.lawncheck.com This gives you multiple programs, seasonal control, and local weather control by zip. It's interesting, though you'll need always-on Internet if you want to use it, and you'll have to know a little about networking. If you do use it, it should help save on your water bill, and help you with water conservation. cheers, Any controller that lets you program from a browser is going to be easier to use than a timer box.
