It’s set up to work with up to 4 sensors as well as well your local weather station of your choice.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Its un-necessary to use the rain sensor. It makes use of local weather stations that you get to choose.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Sensor is not necessary as the system takes info from local weather station . . . and there are more in your area than you think. The system will look for all in your area and let you choose which one to associate with . . . and you can change the station for another one later. Pretty cool!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The system allows you to hook up a sensor - it can use both a sensor and weather data from the ibternet. It does require wifi no matter how you use it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It will work with a rain sensor but it also uses your weather conditions to adjust watering.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No need for a rain sensor. You can choose the nearest weather channel in your area. Enable the feature during configuration and it will check on that weather channel.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Although you can connect a rain sensor, you'd be better off just removing it and relying instead on the weather forecasting capability of the Rachio.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It really is not necessary but it does have 4-5 wire slots for rain sensors.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Rain sensor will work. Not entirely necessary, but I hooked it up anyway on mine
