Netro Sprite (2017) vs Rachio 3e

The Netro Sprite-12 makes for a good, if unremarkable Smart Sprinkler Controller for people with a $80 budget. The Rachio 3e, however, is merely mediocre when compared to other options at its price point and won't satisfy the needs of most people.

In both cases, however, you might want to look into some alternatives at the $80 price range - chances are that there are better options available.
