 For example my Netatmo rain sensor measured today 12mm of rain. But forecast from METNO and WUWeather showed together max 4,7mm actually now 3,5mm. I think if you take in account real actual data from local Netatmo weather station function of rain machine will be much more accurate.

Actually I would be very glad if you can consider it and add this function as soon as possible,as you know forecast are not so accurate so take in accout real local data (from Netatmo if user does have it) might be very beneficial.

I would propose : For long time period forecast use same algorithm(calculation) as you have and change just importance of local Netatmo rain and wind sensor in actual day by day forecast.

Next small idea to be able modify home screen programs custom order in web application.Same as phone app.

  Hi, Jan
  Thank you for your suggestion.

  Next small idea to be able modify home screen programs custom order in web application.Same as phone app.
  Right now you can do that using the mobile app by tap & hold and then drag the program cards to your desired place into the Dashboard. This will be saved only on your mobile phone dashboard. Currently, it is not available for the web app.
  
  Thank you,

  If you have NetAtmo weather service enabled we do take it's output in consideration. Even if forecast is not as good as your local measurement, we compute the delta between forecast and local measurement and take this into consideration for the next watering cycle. The feature is called *Forecast correction* and by default is enabled.
