PSA: My plan to completely automate my garden watering with a smart timer backfired

After the controller failed during a 95-degree week in July and killed my tomatoes, I learned to always keep a manual backup system. Has anyone else had a 'smart' device totally flop on a basic task?

Didn't a tech blog just report on smart sprinkler systems failing after a bad software update?

Saw that report @black.jordan. My neighbor's smart lock did the same thing last month, left him stuck outside.
