Is it smart enough to pull weather data (temp, humidity,rain) from Internet (like national weather service?) to adjust or turn on/off the watering?

No weather data also there is no way to increase or decrease the watering time based on percentage

In Seattle where I live, I can see it rain one quarter of a mile from where I live while I receive no rain. Guess what that does to weather predictions. With irrigation caddy it is easy to set up a schedule and turn it off if you see it raining. Perhaps as a middle ground you could get a sensor to automatically shut off the system when it has or is rained.

Not this one. The IC-W1 does integrate with the national weather service, but not the ICEthS1.

No not at all. Very simple setup. You can add a rain sensor. I bought it for the price. Perhaps in the future they'll do a firmware update, but I wouldn't count on it. Try Cyber-rain. www.cyber-rain.com, but it will be expensive. http://www.cyber-rain.com/residential-irrigation-smart-controller-products.html

Definitely a "1st Generation" product without the sophistication of the later competitors.

Now that I am retired there are these light red rocks that are growing in various parts of my yard. And, I don't have to water them..

Yes. You can do it either from a web browser, by going to www.mytotalconnectcomfort.com, or by using an app on your android or iPhone. You can turn the unit on or off, set the temperature and swich between heating and cooling. I should mention that you must also have the Honewell Red Link installed and operating in conjunction with your home wifi router.

I use both. There is not problem with both. It appears the soil moisture sensor has 1st determination about watering.

The bonus is the time pod and scheduling software(I would recommend downloading the newest version from toro). This does not include a rain sensor but it does have a connection so one can be added. In the box you will find the timer, power supply, time pod, scheduling program and manual.

No. The updates are sent from the Honeywell server. Monitoring is required to access the Honeywell Total Connect website which is where you set up your location for the weather updates.

Forgot to mention that there are Seasonal settings for Winter, Summer, Spring. In my case, I just needed to monitor temp on internet & be notified if furnace or thermostat stopped working.

Weather is picked up from the Internet depending on your location and closest weather station. It is pretty accurate.

You sure can! Following, is the url directly to the product. http://www.amazon.com/Oregon-Scientific-THGR122NX-Wireless-Temperature/dp/B000WOG90E/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1367799490&sr=8-2&keywords=Oregon+Scientific+THGR122NX+Wireless+Temperature+and+Humidity+Sensor Best Regards -

yes and no this works with out smartphone but some item option like weather and email need access to the internet e

There is no 'rain' delay as there is no rain sensor. It is a button you push manually if you want to delay watering for a day. I've never used it but don't need it.

I'm sorry, I don't understand your question. It needs to only be connected to a router on your home network to get updates and weather info. Once connected to the WiFi, you can access it anywhere from your phone to change the temperature. Hope that helps.

Simple answer, yes! As long as you can connect to the Internet and have a phone, computer or other smart device you can! You create a profile for the device on Motison.com when you set it up, and you access all controls from there no matter where you are. It will show current temp and settings.

Absolutely. I've accessed my thermostat from Europe (the thermostat's in the high country of Arizona). As long as the internet is up and the thermostat is connected, you're all set.

I imagine you could, i use mine as a weather station 'forwarder' if you will, and it sends the weather station data to my main router. You will have to fiddle with the settings or flash a different firmware to it. I'ts pretty cheap, and worth experimenting with. good luck

The sensor that comes with this unit is wired. I found it not to work correctly with rain, although I think it sensed low temps OK and switched off the controller. I've had my unit for a couple of years. This year I replaced the wired rain sensor with Rainbird's wireless rain/freeze unit and it now controls and shuts off for rain. Not to say that you won't have a unit that shuts off when it rains. If I saturated the disks myself the wired unit would shut off the controller. However, even in pouring rain (like an inch and hour or more), I'd still find the controller running. This unit isn't exactly designed for the wireless units and so it took a bit of jerry rigging with the common wire etc. to get the replacement wireless to work correctly.

It takes into consideration the weather outside (as well as your schedule and the heating/cooling performance of your house) to determine the optimal settings. That's part of the "DataRythm" technology that is part of the thermostat decision making process.

YES!!! I installed this thermostat to be able to control it remotely from Florida. However, if you place your internet, phone & cable (like Comcast bundle) on SEASONAL HOLD while you're away from home, you will lose the internet connection & will not be able to control the device. The heat & cool systems still work but you have no control remotely. COMCAST will not leave internet ONLY activated. It's all 3 bundled services on or off. BUMMER!!
