If Hell is personalized for each individual, my personal Hell will be eternally tinkering with my sprinklers. Fortunately, my sprinkler controller is currently working well and replacing it doesn't sound at all attractive. However, if I did, I'd make sure to get a controller with the smarts to cancel watering on days that it rains. Some of these have rain sensors and others receive a wireless message (i think a pager network) to cancel the watering job. I think it'd be very nice if your controller pulled watering recommendations from the Department of Water Resources (like http://conservewater.utah.gov/ET/ETSite/SandyCity.htm) and stats from a nearby wunderground.com weather station and adjusted watering days and duration on the fly. That would be a compelling reason for me to consider replacing a controller that works.
