While I agree with what you say, unfortunately for me, I have a Mrs. Kravitz on my block who also happens to be on the association 
. I’ve been on the receiving end or his watering wrath when I had just the teeniest bit of overspray onto the sidewalk (yep, in my case Mrs. Kravitz is an elderly gentleman). It’s one of the minor annoyances that I have to deal with to live in the location I want. So, to keep peace in the neighborhood, I stick to the watering restrictions.
What would be nice to see from the Rachio guys is the programming that can adjust for these types of regulatory conditions as bureaucrats will never catch up to technology.
