I specifically bought the Rain Machine irrigation controller because it was cloud based, but continues to function without the cloud in place

This is such apt naming. An irrigation controller that only works when it's cloudy would be less than useful :P

But don't Irrigation controllers make rain?

Being really pedantic, a cloud-based irrigation controller would presumably float in the cloud layer and produce irrigation by triggering rainfall. So yes, you're quite right! (I'm not sure where it gets the water from when the cloud isn't in place. Really long hoses that stretch all the way down to ground level? This modern technology, it's marvellous.)
