1. you dont need a rain sensor.. Why, because it is Wifi and checks the weather forecast.
2. ease of programming.. generally speaking its comprehensive. I would like to see consideration for specific types of nozzles, like zones that have bubblers for annuals as well, regular nozzles. But, I simply kick on a manual watering when i walk out front and call it a day
3. price, price, price.. I'm sorry, hands down, for a price comparison rainbird and hunter cant touch this category..
4. Honestly i have extensively used major brands and this controller was a refreshing, easy to use, install, configure and operate device. I feel the others nickel and dime you for add ons, like a wifi adapter or are a design that reminds me of the old RCA TV's with the old fashion spin the knob, (clunk clunk) practice of setting up a controller.. Hello its 2023..
5. The app has a setting for type of ground and the practice of watering.. thats important as heck.. if you have ground so hard you could build a skyscraper on, then you use the config where it waters a few times in shorter cycles.. if you has mushy soft ground.. they cover that too..
The only thing I can think of that would make this better is similar to my keyboard, it has solar panels built in so i pretty much never have to charge it, replace a battery, plug it in, etc.. It seems this device uses very low power consumption so if the device had 2 of those 18640 rechargeable batteries and an integrated solar cell for trickle charging when the garage is open.. BAM self sufficient, no power cords needed.. (and if the company does that, remember who coined the idea)
As for integration with Alexa.. im not saying it doesn't work, but.. some effort required.. For example.. as i mentioned the 1 small bed of annuals.. thats zone 4 for me.. so.. I'd like to say, Alexa, turn on zone 4, for 5 minutes.. and walk away.. my home is end to end controlled by alexa, but the extension doesn't seem to quite work like that.. or if it does, i may not have overlooked something.. But again, my home has more than 100 devices in operation.. grouped, designated, and is what friends typically say.. "oh this place is like the Jetsons"..
Overall this is a must have and never again will i go back to industry brand overhyped controllers.

Issues for me were not being able to fully remove the front cover. This made it somewhat tricky to see the mounting wall inserts. (limited space for my particular situation)
Also, wire terminations. they aren't that great. (inserting wires isn't intuitive nor easy) and, since I had two valve cables that each required a common wire. Was unable to insert two common cables into the single termination. This required crimping both common wires together along with a third wire to terminate.
This device needs a second common termination.
Wireless
Connection was seamless and flawless.
Programming
Not intuitive. Difficult to get the correct amount of water applied.
(Needed to pick different plant, soil, and slope options to get results needed)
Programing tip: Easier to program from a PC rather phone.
Don't bother with others. This unit it LEGIT.

I haven't used it long enough to comment on the weather forecast and water saving features.
I really appreciated the Valve Test functionality which indicates if there is a short or an open circuit on each and every valve - it helped me a lot in finding a disconnected wire.
It connected well even from the far edge of my garden where my mobile struggles with WiFi.
The price is excellent compared to big brands.

Programmierung und Konfiguration ist einfach, Austausch der vorhandenen Steuerung war ziemlich einfach.
Einzig die Anzahl der User, die zugreigen können ist mit 3 ein wenig wenig. Aber viellecht wird diese in Zukunft noch erhöht. Würde sie wieder kaufen.
