Using Rachio3 on two zones. The Weather Network data incorrectly records 0 actual precipitation today when closest PWS shows the nearly 1" we received. When I switch the controller to KORBEND219, it records the correct precipitation and adjusts the watering schedule correctly. The forecasted temperature using either data source, however, is also off by 5-7 degrees for the next week. The controller with Weather Network selected seems set to have run my sprinklers tomorrow morning after updating 12 hours before the scheduled time because of the incorrect precipitation total despite the heavy rainfall (for this area).
Is this behavior expected? Am I missing something? Can I trust the controller using Weather Network to record the actual precipitation totals 1 hour before the planned start tomorrow morning? I bought the controller to avoid this exact outcome and now find myself having to manually jump between settings to account for actual rainfall while also trying to figure out how to compensate for bad temperature data affecting the evapotranspiration calculation.
