Outdoor growers in intermittent or low rainfall areas require irrigation controllers. The controller input is usually from a tipping bucket rain gauge or a flow sensor.
Control requirements: If more than X amount of rain falls within a programmed time, the irrigation cycle is interrupted. If Y amount more rain falls within the programmed Off-time, the irrigation cycle is interrupted for a longer time.

Text messaging allows ease of control and setpoint identification while all the control parameters are easily programmable by the operator. Timer reset functions are automatic with optional manual override. A macro can be installed in the controller to further enhance the control functions.
