I'm tempted to just spend the extra $10/$50 and get myself a smart controller instead of waiting for a sale that might not ever happen again (even though I'd love if it did)
So it's not reliable? How long did it last before dying?

Yeah I agree but I'm not in rush, my rain bird is working fine just don't have WiFi .. so I'll take my chances
But I agree with you.. everything is going ip.. gone those days when old tech drops over time.. this model has been out for over 3-4 years now and price is not dropping
Seriously. It should last like forever. It's a freaking PCB with a few chips. There shouldn't be any mechanical moving parts to wear out. Especially 2 years

They have a weatherproof enclosure. Find it on Amazon. I've had mine outside through winter storms and such and it's fine.
I have a Rain Bird controller too, and I can verify that its WiFi absolutely sucks. Also, every time I try to open a PDF or Excel file on my phone, it asks me if I want to open the file with the Rain Bird app. Why would I want to do that? I've been waiting for a Rachio deal.
i have one from May 13, 2020 still running had paid $170 at Costco after $50 coupon
Your watering needs are much simpler now without grass. If you can grab this at a discount, I'd go for it. Last year Sam's clearanced these out at $60-$70. Don't know if they even carry them these days
