Q: QuestionIs this controller water-proof? Can it be mounted outside?

Asked 7 years ago by huskerscrub.

• A:Answer No, the Rachio 3 is not waterproof. You need to purchase a Rachio outdoor enclosure, an elecrical cord specifically for outdoor, and wire clips/cable clamps. All of this will cost an extra $40-$$45. With the right tools, you can install in 30 mins or so. There is an instructional video from Rachio that shows you how to install.

Q: QuestionDoes the Rachio 3rd Generation adjust the watering duration for each zone based on soil, weather, etc.; or is this set by the home owner? I'm curious if the water savings is simply by not watering on windy / rainy days or by adjusting water duration.

Asked 5 years ago by RD24.

• A:Answer It does both ways. It gives you the recommendation, and you can change it as you feel necessary.

Q: QuestionMy sprinkler has 10 zones. Can Rachio-8 zones works for all the 10 zones?

Asked 5 years ago by Abbey.

Q: QuestionCan you confirm that this "works with Ring" i.e. is Amazon Ring compatible?

Asked 4 years ago by AZdreamin.

• A:Answer Alexa has a Rachio 3 skill you can add and then via voice control turn zones on and off. I have successfully added the skill but rarely use it, I prefer the Rachio app. Ring is also Alexa compatible and I have my lights and cameras linked.

Q: QuestionIs this good to run a drip system for plants in pots? Also is this the best choice for a second home that is only occasionally occupied?

Asked 4 years ago by Daveland.

• A:Answer This unit is used to manage an irrigation system. If you have inground irrigation that includes a zone that is setup with drip irrigation then it will work great. I can think of ways to make it work if you do not have an existing system however there are We-Fi controllers made to work with a hose / drop system that would probably work better. For a second home with an irrigation system it would work well, I would suggest installing it and being there with it for a number of days just to make sure that it is doing what you want - you would need to leave the WiFi on at the 2nd home all of the time if you want to monitor it and have it adjust to weather conditions
