After a couple of years of frustration with my Rain8Nets (yes multiple due to failure) I'm switching to a different controller. I have been searching for a replacement for a while, and have also considered building my own controller based on the Flyport. I finally found my ideal controller and it's called OpenSprinkler.
It's Arduino based, ethernet connected, and open source. 8 zones with an expansion module to add 8 more (I have 9 zones so that makes solutions like EtherRain pretty darn expensive for me). I just purchased the assembled version and am looking forward to getting it working with HomeSeer.
I use mcsSprinklers so I should be able to use virtual devices to control each zone. Will probably end up writing a simple plugin for this. If there's any interest I'll post the plugin here for free.
