Did you know your RainPoint system can check the weather forecast?
Our WeatherSmart™ feature is designed to do just that. When rain is detected or predicted in your area, it automatically delays your scheduled watering cycle. It’s not just about convenience — it’s about meaningful resource conservation.
Why does this matter?
Save Water: This feature alone can help save thousands of gallons of water per year for an average household.
Protect Plants: Avoid overwatering after rainfall to prevent root issues and plant stress.
Lower Bills: Reduced water usage translates directly into savings on your water bill.
We’d love to hear your story:
Have you tried the WeatherSmart™ feature yet?
Have you noticed a meaningful change in your water usage?
Did it come to the rescue during an unexpectedly rainy period?
Do you have your own water-saving tips to share?
Please share your experiences, insights, or ideas below. Let’s learn from each other and build a smarter, more sustainable gardening community together!
Everyone, the claim in the official WeatherSmart™ post about “saving thousands of gallons of water per year” isn’t just talk!
I’ve been using this feature for an entire irrigation season. I just checked my water bill—compared to last year, my outdoor water usage dropped by 22%! And that doesn’t even include the hidden benefits of healthier plants.
Now, the challenge:
If you’ve also enabled WeatherSmart™, go check your water usage data (from your water utility bill or smart meter app), then come back and:
Share your water-saving percentage or actual volume saved (you can blur out private details).
Briefly describe your settings (e.g., sensitivity set to “High” or using a custom delay).
Let’s see just how powerful this feature is with real data! The most impressive “report card” deserves a big thumbs-up.
The official post asked if there were any “rescue” stories? I’ve got one!
Last month, I was away on a business trip for a week, just as scattered showers were forecasted for my area. I was worried—if I stuck to the original schedule, the garden might get overwatered; if I didn’t water, the rain might not be enough.
WeatherSmart™ automatically skipped two watering sessions in between and only ran a solid cycle after the rain stopped. When I returned home, my lawn and flower beds were in perfect shape—not dried out, no root rot.
