When it comes to safety it’s a bit more clear cut. The job of a heating system is to heat so don’t turn off heating when this can endanger people and houses.
The job of a lawn irrigation system is to irrigate. Who wants a dead lawn just because the internet or wifi are down, or to conserve water only when the system is disconnected from the internet but not from electricity?
