Claim 16:
17. The method of claim 15, wherein the display screen of the at least one user input device is configured to display one or more pictorial representations, and further comprising:
causing, by the control unit, the display screen of the at least one user input device to display a plurality of pictorial representations that in combination convey to the user the at least one of the sensed rainfall accumulation amount, the predefined rainfall accumulation threshold parameter, and whether irrigation is being interrupted;
providing a receiver coupled with the control unit;
receiving, by the receiver a communication from a remote sensor, where the communication comprises data indicating the sensed rainfall accumulation amount above the predefined rainfall accumulation threshold parameter;
receiving, by the control unit, the data indicating that the sensed rainfall accumulation amount exceeds the predefined rainfall accumulation threshold parameter;
determining, by the control unit, that the data indicating the sensed rainfall accumulation amount exceeds the predefined rainfall accumulation threshold parameter;
based on the determining, communicating, by the control unit, a data signal including the message to instruct the irrigation controller to implement the interruptions;
causing, by the control unit, the display screen of the at least one user input device to display the plurality of pictorial representations is configured to cause the display screen of the at least one user input device to display an interrupt indicator and a rain indicator;
conveying to the user, via the interrupt indicator and the rain indicator, that the irrigation is interrupted based on the sensed start of rainfall.
