That might explaine why I cannot find a 4 zone. They are so expensive, so 
wanted to see what was accessible before I purchased.

I recently purchased a Rachio 12 channel for $149.00 and I’m supposed to get a 
rebate from our water department bringing the cost down to $75. I can’t speak 
for how accessible the setup is because my lawn man did that as he has been on 
me to purchase one of these for two years. With the app on my iPhone I can 
monitor each channel, turn things on and off and see how long each channel runs 
and adjust that. What I have done so far is pretty accessible. One problem is 
that I think the smallest they make is an eight channel.

There are so many out there, Rachio, Rainmachine, Rainbird, Metro and those are 
just some of the names I remember when I just looked on Amazon. Most of them 
claim to have features like integration with the forecast so they don't come on 
if it's raining, most say they work with google and Alexa and some include 
Apple Homekit but I'm almost equally certain there are differences in quality 
and useability. Guess I'll do some more reading on landscaping forums and such 
about which names are the ones to look for.

Hi,

I used to have the B Hyve Smart irrigation controller. It was pretty cool, it 
connected to Wi-Fi. There was a mode where you can set it to her you can put it 
on the schedule and based on the weather, if it detected rain, it would go on a 
delay. It would also go on a delay if there was frost coming up. The app used 
to be fairly accessible. I  used to have this unit back in 2019. It cost me 
about $120 in the US. not sure if the app remains accessible with voiceover. It 
has been a while.

Hi,

This one is eight zones, but it does work well with the iPhone app. I have not 
tried configure it with Alexa.

Hi,

You might want to check out the WEMO switch from Belkin; I use one and
can confirm that the app is accessible.

Cheers,
Ben.
