Cyber-Rain may sound like a sweet name for a video game, but it's actually a way for automatic-sprinkler owners to save water. The controller coordinates with a networked PC to check local forecasts, and adjusts sprinkler schedules based on precipitation, humidity, and temperature. How long the $400 device will take to pay for itself probably depends on the size of your yard.
