I've been using OpenSprinkler Pi (the DIY version) for 5 years and have never had a problem with it. I was an early adopter with the hardware (interestingly enough, the creator is local to me though we've never met).
Best part is no cloud dependencies and reliable timing. No problems at all here. I turn the Pi off over the winter to save the SD card from un-needed usage.
