Rachio 3
Upgraded to the Rachio 3, everything was easy with this item. Worked great the last 2 months and now in hibernation mode till spring. When it wakes up I’m sure it’ll be fine!!!

Easy transfer from old Rachio
Had to update because my old Rachio wifi was obsolete. Easy transfer & install, now the wifi is great.

Easy and even easier
I had an old Rainbird controller and finally got fed up with the inability to control it with my phone. After much research, I finally decided to go with Rachio, since it seemed to be a disrupter in the space.
Switching of the controllers could not have been easier and the wiring was trivial. Connecting the controller to the WiFI works like other modern devices, such as Nest or Chromecast. After connecting, the zone setup was trivial as I could just walk around the property trying them one by one.
All I want now is a wireless soil moisture detector, but that does not yet seem available.

Rachio Gen3 Upgrade
Great installation support. Did not quite figure out my wiring problem, but eliminated enough variables to allow me to find the issue. Valve monitoring with calibration cycle is a big plus for Gen3.

Finally a Sprinkler Controller That Is Easy To Use!
I have had many sprinkler controllers over the years and none have them have been easy to program. A friend introduced me to Rachio and I have not looked back. So easy to use and so smart!

I love this controller. I
I love this controller. I had one installed at my building and it is so easy to use from my phone. I ordered an additional one for my house. The best feature is operating it from my phone. When geese decide to hang out in our yard I just turn on the sprinkler and they are gone.

Outstanding controller
Unit was easy to install. Software and interface to outside weather services really makes this unit a more effective and efficient platform for managing the garden. Hoping the interface to Apple Homelink improves.

A “plant-saver”
Because it is WiFi accessible, you can adjust the watering schedule when you are away from home if the weather heats up or there is an unexpected rainstorm. This is true for both the multizone system as well as the faucet specific timers.

Rain Skip Question
Great controller. Everything is as advertised.
I have two fixed schedules in addition to a smart schedule. I selected rain skip in the options for the fixed schedules. When a rain skip is applied to the smart schedule, it is not applied to the fixed schedules. How can I get the rain skip to affect the fixed schedule? Thanks. Happy customer!!

Returned it
Although I did buy a Rachio irrigation controller, I ended up returning it because of an issue with my irrigation system unrelated to the controller. Hopefully once I get my system fixed, I’ll be able to buy a Rachio controller to control it. Thanks.

Sprinkler installation and results
The Rachio 3 controller was easy to install and once the WiFi was extended works perfectly. Be sure you have good coverage for WiFi and everything will work flawlessly.

Great irrigation smart device
I swapped out my older Rainbird system for this one. I love that I can control it from an app on my phone. It is user friendly and looks good hanging as well. I feel it is much more efficient than my old system. Was easy for my irrigation guy to swap out. Only took like 5 mins and no additional wiring or equipment was needed.

Love It
So far this has been amazing. Before my box was impossible to program ( sometimes even the system worker had problems). Rachio has worked perfectly, even detecting the rain and not turning on. Glad to have this help me with my irrigation system!
