How do you think a wind-based delay would work? I’m thinking the code would have to be pulling live wind data frequently, but potentially only while it is actually engaged in watering. Would a single gust be enough to force a delay or only if the average gets over a certain amount?

I suspect this would only work with a personal weather station. You couldn’t pull data that frequently from WUnderground without paying for it. You could potentially pull from the NWS, but given that its not often local I’m not quite sure how useful that is?
