    Anyone know of an irrigation controller that allows you to put the watering schedule on your computer and make updates to the schedule from your computer?

    I haven't heard about the irrigation thing, I'm sure its around. They make a timer program for your computer that lets you turn lights and appliances on or off at any given time from any computer with internet access anywhere in the world. So I guess you could just hook up your irrigation pump to one provided its on the same house circuit. Check out: http://www.smarthome.com for a catalog of home automation devices.

    So far I've only found one company called Irritrol that offers this. They have a product called PC Control, but it's not cheap. It's almost $300. Is there no other option?
