QuestionDoes BBY Geek Squad install this item?
Asked 7 years ago by Mich.
- Answer I am not sure if the Geek Squad installs this item; however, if you are replacing an older irrigation controller, the upgrade is very easy. You probably don't need help from the Geek Squad if you you have a drill, screwdriver, level, and wire cutters and your iPhone can connect to your WiFi from the installation location.

QuestionShould this be plugged into a surge protector?
Asked 8 years ago by z3540i.
- Answer I would suggest using a surge protector. Rachio makes a great product but I have had two controllers get fried by lighting. I had a non wifi Rainbird controller in the same location (garage) for 15 years with no problems. These units contain sensitive electronics.

- Answer I don’t see why it wouldn’t. If your phone can connect to it, this should be able to. It only operates on the 2.4 ghz channel, though.
