I used to service sprinkler systems at PSU, my part of servicing was the Electronics. Yes there are electronic devices everywhere in a sprinkler system. They have to be tested every 6 months i belive, retired so I don't remember all that well I didn't test, just fixed the Electronics. Could be every year, but still the costs on top of the install are crazy. They have troubles all the time, the piping gets old, and from testing introducing new oxygenated water into the pipes, the rust faster and valves start sticking. All kinds of issues like that. It isn't install it and that's that, legacy cost would be enough to put owners out of business. Oh, and who regulates testing, big government of course.
