I'm Back: Difference between Irrigation Rain Sensor & Rain-Freeze Sensor

The State of Georgia has required rain sensors on all new irrigation systems for several years and some counties, like Forsyth, are taking it a step further by checking to make sure you get one with a new irrigation system.
A rain sensor keeps your system from running when it is raining or it senses moisture in it's sensor. Another great feature that can be combined with your rain sensor is a freeze shut off which that your irrigation system doesn't try to irrigate when it's below a certain temperature as well.
If you winterize your irrigation system, a rain sensor is perfect. If you are one of those who take chances with your irrigation system and Atlanta winter weather, you need a Rain-Freeze sensor.
