RainDelay saved my garden party!

We had a surprise downpour yesterday, I setted a Rainy day delay irrigation schedule in the RainPoint home app, then RainPoint automatically delays irrigation schedules by 2 days. My patio area stayed dry for the party! Have you had a “wow” moment with RainDelay?

It’s the best feeling, isn’t it? I love knowing I’m not wasting water when it’s already raining.

Mine skipped a cycle last week due to high winds. I was impressed it considered that too!

What a perfect example of smart watering in action — thank you for sharing your “rain delay win”! It’s exactly why we built this feature: to automatically adapt to the weather so you don’t have to, whether you’re hosting a party or just enjoying a rainy day indoors.

We’re thrilled to hear it kept your patio dry and your plans intact. That kind of seamless, worry-free experience is what we strive for.

For those curious about how RainDelay works:

  • The feature uses local weather data to pause scheduled watering when sufficient rain is detected or forecasted.

  • You can customize the sensitivity and duration of the delay in the app to match your garden’s needs and local climate.

Let’s hear from everyone:
Have you had a “wow” moment with RainDelay or another smart feature?

  • Did it save your plants from overwatering during a wet week?

  • Did it kick back in automatically after the rain cleared?

  • Or maybe you’ve customized it in a clever way?

No. You didn’t mention it, so I had no idea it could be used in this way.
