Install a rain/freeze shutoff sensor and prove it interrupts the cycle, the city park's irrigation controller, Poteet, TX 78065 (Atascosa County).

The city park's irrigation controller runs its full schedule no matter what happened overnight -- rain that already soaked the ground, or a hard freeze -- because there is no shutoff sensor wired in to interrupt it. Every cycle that runs into already-saturated or frozen ground is water the schedule should have skipped.

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

sensor wiring photo + triggered bench-test showing cycle interrupt + reset confirmation + GPS

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. 1. Power the controller off at its disconnect, then mount the rain/freeze sensor at an open, unobstructed spot per the manufacturer's siting spec, clear of the eave line and any sprinkler spray.
2. 2. Wire the sensor into the controller's dedicated sensor-bypass terminal, never the load side, and confirm the wiring matches the controller's own terminal diagram.
3. 3. Restore power, then run the bench test: trigger the sensor (saturate the rain sensor's absorbent disks with water, or hold the freeze sensor below its rated cutoff with an ice pack) and start a scheduled zone from the controller.
4. 4. Record the controller's screen showing the run was skipped or interrupted while the sensor is triggered, then release the sensor and confirm the same zone runs normally once it resets.

What counts as done

• Before photo of the controller's sensor terminal with no sensor wired in
• Wiring photo showing the sensor connected to the dedicated sensor-bypass terminal, not the load side
• Bench-test photo series showing the triggered sensor and the controller's screen reading a skipped or interrupted cycle
• Photo/reading of the same zone running normally once the sensor resets, confirming the bypass works in both states

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
