I'm a big fan of RainMachine, and have installed three so far for family and friends - The WeeWx integration works perfectly for hourly updates. It's a very clean product (hardware, web UI, iOS app). I'm normally a DIY guy and have lots of Pi's around the house automating various things, but for the home irrigation, I don't regret at all going with a turnkey solution.
Happy to answer any questions you have about RainMachine.
