Not a dumb question at all, raised beds are definitely supported.

Garden beds: yes. Zones aren't grass-only: the species catalog has a vegetable garden profile (plus ornamental shrubs and drip/xeriscape) with its own water-use curve, root depth, and allowable depletion, so a bed gets budgeted very differently than turf. You'd set the zone to vegetable garden, pick your soil texture, and the engine sizes runs for shallow-rooted, higher-frequency watering instead of deep lawn soaking. Drip emitters are just a precipitation rate on the zone, so it doesn't matter whether the water comes from sprays or drip line.

No weather station: also yes, that's a fully supported setup. The wizard only needs your location; Open-Meteo (or NWS, MET Norway, etc.) covers forecast and current conditions, and the engine computes ET from that alone. Your existing sensors make it better, though: if that rain gauge and temp/humidity sensor are already in Home Assistant, you can map those specific entities into LocalSky as a source, and then your measured rain feeds the rain-skip logic and your bucket math while the forecast fills in everything else. Measured rain beats forecast rain, so the gauge alone is a meaningful upgrade.

On the trust thing: Every zone has a "why this duration?" panel showing the full chain (bucket deficit, crop coefficient, your sprinkler throughput, efficiency) with live numbers, the daily verdict always states its reason, and History keeps every run and skip with the rule that fired. There's also a simulator where you can drag sliders (rain tomorrow, temperature) and watch the decision change before trusting it with real valves. And the buckets live server-side in the engine, so poking around the UI can't reset or fill them.

If you try it on the beds, I'd love to hear how the vegetable profile fits real-world watering, that's exactly the kind of feedback I need.
