Love ’em or hate ’em, you have to admit that the latest apps, hardware, and services make our day-to-day lives significantly easier. Too lazy to pick up your own takeout? Download an app like Seamless or Uber Eats that’ll do all the legwork for you. Don’t want to clean your dirty apartment? Invest in a self-operating vacuum that will keep your place in pristine condition.

Or maybe you don’t want to spend time watering your garden — or schlepping back and forth to turn on your sprinklers, for that matter. If that’s the case, you clearly need Rachio’s 3 Smart Sprinkler Control System, a Mashable Choice product that’s now on sale.

Watering your lawn is easy with this weird gadget. Once you install the sprinklers, simply download Rachio’s corresponding app for your smartphone or virtual home system. From there, you can schedule watering times and frequencies as you — and your lawn — see fit. 

Rachio’s model is the first system with hyperlocal Weather Intelligence. This program knows exactly where you live and will adjust your watering schedule based on the forecast in your specific location, leaving your yard healthy and perfectly nourished.

Oh, and did we mention that the Rachio 3 Smart Sprinkler Controller comes with a Google Home Mini, which is one of the many devices it’s compatible with?

Normally, this bundle would cost you $279, but it’s currently on sale for $230 — yes, that includes the Google Home Mini.
