Tempest and wired rain sensor?

post by DreadPirate on Apr 25

We have a Tempest already, so I got the integration code to use with our new Rachio 3. However, our old Rainbird system had a wired rain sensor. If I hook that up as well, will it serve as a backup to the Tempest, or just end up causing confusion?

It’s already connected since I was in there connecting everything else but I just won’t enable it in the app if it’s going to cause problems.

@DreadPirate - backup. AKA belts and suspenders. If the Tempest doesn’t forecast rain and it is raining, the wired rain sensor will stop the run.
