So I have to admit that I was struggling to find the necessity for a connected sprinkler system. My entire house is full of IOT devices and I am a huge fan of connected technology. I finally decided to pull the trigger and see what all the fuss was about. First, the Rachio was simple to install. It took about fifteen minutes to get it connected to power, wired to my rain sensor and connected to wifi. Please do yourself a favor and check your wifi signal at the installation site. It's easy enough to do using the Ookla app or any others sped test site. I have a mesh wifi system so my speeds in the garage are very fast. Second, the app assists you with setup and accounts for types of sprinklers as well as soil types and actual weather data for your area. It was very simple to add the zones to the Rachio controller. The app is well thought out and makes installation very simple. So how is it useful? 1. I have dropped my water usage tremendously due to this device. Not only does it work with most irrigation systems, it can connect to weather stations in your area to help predict wether or not rain will be coming your way. The weather station closest to me is about six miles away so it has been very accurate. Please note that you will need to pay attention to your system when you first install it and make sure that if the system decides to skip a watering schedule, that the weather station you are tied to is close enough to be accurate. It has been spot on in my experience. 2. Having the Rachio controller makes troubleshooting or maintenance of my sprinkler system very easy. I no longer have to run a zone, run back to the controller to switch zones, and then run back to check on the next zone. Switching zones happens right from the palm of my hand from my iPhone. 3 Rachio integrates with several home automation platforms including Control4, SmartThings and Wink. This is useful because I can write rules that will delay the watering schedule. For example, if the Sonos for the backyard area is playing, delay the schedule until the speaker stops playing. It's sounds silly but it has saved me several times from total embarrassment during an outdoor gathering. 4. I get notifications every time the schedule runs or if watering is skipped due to rain. This allows me to keep an eye on what is happening. Now that I have had the Rachio for several months, I can hinstly say it is one of my favorite connected devices. It is absolutely worth the cost as I have dropped my water bill approximately $30 per month. If you have been thinking about purchasing the Rachio, do yourself s favor and pull the trigger. You'll be happy you did. Pros: Install time: approx 15 minutes App is intuitive and makes setup easy Rachio uses rain sensors and weather station data to predict rain and save from unnecessary water use. Customer service is great! Cons: I honestly have yet to find any. If I come across one, I will update my review. Feel free to send any questions you have about my real world experience with this device to [email protected]

So far so good. Easy setup as long as you have some basic understanding of your network. The app is nifty and responsive. My only complaint is that even though I have renamed the zones to things like “front lawn” or “flower bed” when using Alexa I have to say the zone number rather than the friendly name. I’m hoping they update this as the system matures. Overall I’m very happy and I think it will pay for itself with water savings because it knows when it rains close by. You can also hook up an external rain sensor, but I’ve opted for just using my closed weather station for climate information.

Wow, this thing changed my life. So easy now. I couldn't never figure out how to work the standard system with the schedules. This makes it so easy. Plus the feature that automatically turns it off it it rains is amazing.

One of my best purchases ever! I love that I can water my yard where ever I happen to be. I read and study all the products, but I would highly suggest going with this product. My husband installed it himself, and we bought the outside box. I will update my review and let you all know how it goes after our first winter. Things I love about my Rachio: 1. VERY VERY EASY TO SETUP AND USE 2. You can take pictures and name your zones, so you are not trying to remember which zone is which. I was always forgetting which zones watered my flowers. 3.Manual water is very easy. You push the big button at the bottom, and your manual water option comes up, and then you click the circle for how long and select your zone. 4. It tells me when it is watering next so if my lawn looks dry I can decide if I want to add a custom cycle. 5. It just decides when to water my lawn, and my lawn has never looked better!!!

Love this. I have a shady clay backyard and a sunny (still clay) front yard, and I used to have one of the two: 1. Tweak the sprinkler control settings a lot and in the end get a burnt grass in my front yard, or 2. Tweak the sprinkler control settings a lot and in the end get a big pot of standing water in my backyard. And I still had to keep changing the settings as the seasons changed and what I set today wouldn't have been good tomorrow. Granted I could have better landscape planning in my backyard. Definitely better soil. I really could use a drainage system and perhaps better designed irrigation zones. However in the end none of that would solve the problem of changing seasons and also with a traditional sprinkler control you simply don't have enough granularity in your programming that this gives you. So even with all the crappy things I have to deal with in my yard, this unit has solved a lot of those issues. It has allowed me to set up the system once and just forget about it. I have green lawn in both my front and back yards and I don't have standing water in my backyard. It is smart to react to weather changes and adjust for it, and it also doesn't water everything at once, so you might be watering one zone for 5 minutes today and then the same zone for another 5 minutes 38 minutes later and then another zone tomorrow for 26 minutes, etc. It lets the water to sink in before proceeding with even more water therefore greatly reducing the problems associated with clay soil. As a bonus feature it also gives you online access from anywhere and great reports and insights to your water consumption. My final thought: it would pair really nice with a smart weather station to measure temperature and rain *in your yard* and not in some random place miles away...
