never again
This item lasted me about 6 months. I never did get around to hooking up the rain sensor (I bought it just as winter set in). It would not reconnect with the remote thermometer sensor after 6 months. I called customer service, I emailed them, I tried all their solutions. Nothing worked. Their best advice was buy another remote sensor. Well I did. I bought a complete unit made by a different company and it's been working a year and a half now.
