Run my buddy’s sprinklers off the weather and cut his water bill

A user set an AI running his friend’s sprinkler system based on weather patterns, and reported big savings on the water bill. The system waters when the forecast says it matters, not on a dumb timer.

How it works

  1. Bot watches weather patterns
  2. Adjusts sprinkler runs to the forecast
  3. Skips watering when rain makes it pointless
  4. Water bill drops noticeably

Why it’s worth knowing

An AI agent with a hose: it physically waters a lawn based on the sky, not a clock.
