Random question on irrigation for the Fediverse. In-laws house has an old Hunter irrigation controller which appears to have been designed in the 1980's and requires an engineering degree to program, considering a more modern controller... but not one that requires any subscription and can run independent of the cloud if needed -- but can also support app-based programming and/or integration with HA or other DIY tools. Does such a thing exist? Bonus points for cloud-is-optional. Rachio? Orbit? etc. etc.?
(I do have an engineering degree, had to reprogram the thing for them after they had to change out all the leaking valves).
