Size: Smart Hose Timer (1 Valve, 1 WiFi Hub)
I have three of these timers and I intend to purchase more. Surprisingly easy to set up, with simple clear instructions. The app is powerful yet uncomplicated. Schedules are easy to set up and change, and can automatically skip a run based on actual or forecast rainfall. Ad hoc watering is simple through the app or by pressing button on the valve. Best of all is the service. The battery compartment on one of my valves leaked and the valve failed. The warranty replacement process was easy and quick. Rachio replaced not only the failed valve, but the other two as well. They shipped me three new valves and sent me a pre-paid UPS shipping label to return the old valves. Yes, you can buy less expensive "automatic" valves. I have done so in the past, but not any more. The build quality, functionality, ease of use, and manufacturer's product support of these valves is worth far more than any price savings you may find on a lesser product.

5/5 stars I'm so glad I invested in the Rachio hose timer It's been a game-changer for my gardening routine. With the Rachio app, I can easily manage and monitor my hose watering from my phone, which is super convenient. I no longer have to worry about remembering to water my plants or dealing with tedious hand watering. The automation feature is amazing - I can set up a schedule for my plants to receive the right amount of water, and the Rachio timer will take care of the rest. It's also great to know that the timer is smart enough to skip a scheduled watering if rain is expected or has already occurred. I've been using the Rachio timer with my soaker hose, and it's been working perfectly. The soaker hose is great for watering my ground cover plants evenly, and the Rachio timer ensures that the water is delivered at the right time. I've noticed a significant improvement in the health and growth of my plants since using the Rachio timer. One of the features I appreciate most is the Quick Run option. It's so easy to start a manual watering session directly from the app or the timer itself. This is perfect for when I need to give my plants a little extra water. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with the Rachio hose timer. It's been a huge time-saver and has helped me to take better care of my plants. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a smart and convenient way to water their garden. Pros: * Easy to use and manage from the app * Automates watering schedule for convenience * Smart rain skip feature ensures plants don't get waterlogged * Compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant * Quick Run option for manual watering sessions * Works well with my soaker hose for even watering Cons: None

I don't write many reviews, but this product deserves a warning label. I debated giving it two stars since it worked great for a couple weeks, but then dropped off Wi-Fi and refused to pair to my network again. I wasted about 1.5hrs troubleshooting, changing passwords, ensuring 2.4Ghz with a separate SSID to make sure there was absolutely no chance of 5Ghz interfering with this. I just woke up one day and it was not on Wi-Fi, the LED blinking purple which indicates trying to joint the wireless network. When I began troubleshooting, it gave me an incorrect password error, which was wrong. I even tried disabling security altogether and just doing security by limiting the clients to only this MAC address. With no password, it still told me I had a wrong password. The troubleshooting guide will tell you to do a factory reset, leave it unplugged, blow on it (kidding, NES reference), etc. I tried all of this and concluded this product is absolute garbage. I bought this because I have a Rachio irrigation controller which works great, but this product obviously was developed by a different team. To be clear, the issue is with the wireless 'hub' as they call it, not with the valve assembly itself. That part looks and feel solid, the battery compartment is well sealed, it seems really nice. But stay far away and avoid the headache.

It’s been a great product for at least a year now. It works very well with no leaking. I have been using it to maintain water levels in my pool. The water is set to come on a few days a week and it works quite well. I was concerned to leave the hose valve open but the Rachio Smart Hose Timer keeps the valve opened when needed and closed when not. The App-Controlled timer is very easy to use. It can be customized to whatever day(s) or time you need. I have only used it for the purposed mentioned above so I don’t know if will work with a lawn sprinkler system.

By using weather data and soil moisture levels to adjust the watering schedule, it ensures that my garden gets just the right amount of water without waste.

I have a garden that is nearly 100 feet from my nearest spigot. I also have a yard full of flowers that I water daily. I would make, literally, 10-20 laps to and from my spigot day to turn off/on my hose. Not that I'm lazy, but it's just a lot of unnecessary overhead. So, i downloaded the app that comes with the Rachio Smart Hose Timer. I now just grab my phone wherever I am in the yard, pop up the very intuitive app and turn my hose off and on from where I am not where I need to walk 100 feet to. Obviously the timer functions are great for a garden. My comes on at 5am every day. The integrated weather feature that cancels the watering schedule for the day if there has been a recent rain is like gardening magic. Prob other things I could mention but just these couple have made the purchase (which I thought was a little steep) well worth it imo. I would have actually paid more for it knowing what it does now. EDIT AFTER 1 SEASON - brought this unit inside in October. It was inactive all winter. Today it warmed up enough to hook it up to an external spicket. It leaked badly when turned off with the water spicket open. Worse when activated it only pushed a slight stream through the hose. I've read from other poor rating reviews that the design is flawed. Water will pool into the internal battery compartment thus corroding internal parts. I'm leaving at 2 stars because it did work very well for one season. Unfortunately after paying nearly $100 for this item I expected at least a few seasons of reliability. EDIT 3/2026 - I contacted the company because this seems to be a not uncommon issue with these devices. I got through a chat line on the Rachio website in just a couple minutes I was chatting with support. Because, I assume, this is such a common warranty issue they had no problems replacing my unit. I had to upload a couple pictures. One of the rusted battery compartment. And, of course, my Amazon receipt. With 3 days I had a brand new unit. From looking at this product now it's went up about 20%. Could be inflation, but my guess is they redesigned the battery compartment and most likely fixed the only problem i had with the product. I would give it 5 stars because as I said earlier it's a wonderful niche product. But, I did have the one huge problem and Rachio did a stellar job of fixing it.

UPDATE May 2025: when I tried to get up and going this season the WiFi hub would not connect to the hose timer. I tried everything but it just didn't connect. I ended up calling Rachio customer service and they were amazingly helpful. They tried lots of fixes including some not in the manual, and then eventually sent me a replacement (under warranty). Now everything is up and running again. I really appreciate the Rachio hose timer and now I REALLY appreciate their amazing customer service. I am one satisfied customer. I am brand new to hose timers. But we have a Rachio 3 Smart Sprinkler Controller for our front yard, and wanted to automate/simplify watering our three raised garden beds. Since we already had the Rachio app loaded on our android phone, it was very simple to set up the hose timer, and name it, and connect the WiFi Hub. And after a bit of trial and error, we figured out how to get Alexa to turn it on and off. We found that to open the hose timer valve, we say "Alexa, open [valve name]." And to turn it off, we can say "Alexa, close [valve name]." Of course, we can also set up schedules in the app, or turn the timer on/off manually in the app, or even start/stop it by pressing the button on the timer itself. But using Alexa works just fine for us. We did have to get a new hose bib, though. Our old one was leaking when we set up the hose timer! But that isn’t due to the timer, just a bad hose bib. All in all, I would definitely recommend this to family and friends.
