Hydrawise Seasonal Adjust vs Weather Intelligence: Use Both, Not One

Seasonal adjust is still useful when you know a property — shaded north lawn versus west-facing parkway. Weather Intelligence handles the day-to-day: recent rain, ET, and temperature swings.

Start with a solid base schedule (minutes that actually wet the root zone), enable Weather Intelligence, then nudge seasonal adjust per zone type. Do not crank seasonal adjust to 40% and blame the app when turf goes dormant-looking in July.

Show the homeowner the watering history screen once. People trust the system more when they can see skipped cycles after a storm.
