Yes

A brief description of how weather data or sensors are used:
Ringling College of Art and Design employs programmable wireless rain sensors that place irrigation cycles on-hold when moisture levels exceed programmed tolerances. All sensors have the capacity to display signal strength, rain and programmed temperature set points. Weather data is updated every 45 seconds to ensure reliable communications between the sensor and the irrigation controller. These sensors exceed local municipality irrigation compliance requirements while advancing the College's reputation for professional water management.
