Neither does my mom. Not because she doesn't want a data plan, but because she refuses to learn how to use the finger to navigate. Seeing her struggling with the tablet while my 2 year-old niece was flying through it makes you think what a difference a generation gap is.Everyone doesn't own a smart phone. I can live a long and happy life without ever paying a monthly fee for a data plan.

I can see where you're coming from, so I'm not going to tell you any more about BlueSpray stuffs. I have nothing to do with them, but if you want to evaluate one, you can email them and ask.I've installed thousands of Rainbird and Toro items. Also Hunter, Irritrol and a few others. I've installed 0 Blue Sprays. I've seen 0 Blue Sprays. I know of nobody personally who's ever seen a Blue Spray.
Why don't you have your guys send me some finished product and I'll test it in the field. Then I can give an unbiased opinion. I don't see that ever happening. Especially in 2013.
Then again I'd just install it in my yard. I'll never install a controller that's run via a browser for any of my customers. I don't install items which make me a less efficient repairman.
A large percentage of my regular customers aren't at home when I'm there. I'd need access to their computer inside their house while they aren't there. I'm not buying a smart phone or a tablet just to accomodate one controller. I'm not going into someone's home while they aren't there. I was accused once of stealing a guys credit card out of his desk. Turns out his son was dealing drugs. I'm thinking maybe he took it.
You seem to spend a lot of time an energy recommending a product that doesn't exist and you want me to believe you're not connected with the company in any way.
If the guy who started this post wants one. Then go for it. Someday that is. Perhaps 2016.

They say it will be available soon. I'm on the beta/early adopter program so I have one in my garage. I can't divulge much information because I'm under NDA, but I can tell you that it is much better than IC. It is unlike any other controller out there. You can set as many programs and start times as you want. I particularly like the seasonal feature that allows me to set different watering schedule for all seasons: once a week in the spring, every other day in the summer, 2 times a week in the fall, and nothing in the winter, which is exactly what I've been looking for.Check out BlueSpray. Their flexible scheduling might fit your need.
Hey Serpico, what is your experience with the Blue Spray controller?
When I go to the site is says the product isn't available yet?
Is this what you're talking about?
