Customers praise the 8-zone 3rd Generation Smart Sprinkler Controller for its ease of use, water conservation capabilities, and intuitive app. Users also appreciate the straightforward installation process and overall performance. While some find the price to be a concern, the smart features and weather integration receive positive feedback.
I made some changes to my irrigation system to have even coverage all over my property. I decided it was time to get a better controller as well. I previously used an Orbit B Hyve controller. It was nice that it was wi-fi connected, but it was not as smart as the Rachio with weather prediction and delaying watering. The interface was clunky and difficult to use. In CT we have had a very dry summer. There were quite a few days where the forecast showed thunderstorms and showers, but the rain never came. B Hyve would skip watering those days, and of course the lawn suffered. Rachio does rain delay intelligently... if the forecast changes then it will modify the rain delay so the lawn still gets the watering it needs. The app is very easy to use and to map out the yard with. If you fully program all the details for each zone, Rachio is able to intelligently schedule watering times and duration based on that information. Also love the water hammer reducing feature which opens the next zone just before the previous closes. We have very high water pressure in our town.
