I whipped up a quick service to run on the platform which cancels the irrigation if it’s going to rain soon: https://github.com/jeffkowalski/uplands/blob/master/RaspberryPi/flud/flud.

It is based on the Arduino, it has internet connectivity and can accomodate a number of add-ons, including weather sensors.
