A lot of people like rachio.

I've had the rainbird wifi controlled for a few years.
It's pretty decent. I can control and set schedules pretty easily through the app. Set delays etc.

The only thing I wish I could do it with it, is set more precise schedules.

I.e. instead of doing MWF - 7am watering. It would be nice if I could do the mwf 7am zone. But also schedule a shorter 5min watering at say noon time on certain days or daily.

Not sure if the rachio let's you more fine tune schedule or if there's a newer version of the rainbird that let's you do that.

You can with the Rainbird. Go to watering start times. Usually says ‘1st’ with whatever time you have. Hit the right arrow and go to 2nd and enter what time you want to cycle again.
