Q: Does Rachio sync with Google home?
A: Yes. http://rachio.com/integrations
Q: Is unit compatible with all solenoid valves? Including adjustable flow?
A: Yes it it comparable. The unit just replaces your controller and the types of valves you have are transparent to it.
A: If you can install a new thermostat controller then you can install this. Just need to connect a few wires.
Q: Does BBY Geek Squad install this item?
A: 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.
Q: Should this be plugged into a surge protector?
A: 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.
A: 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.
Q: It's rachio smart sprinkler controller ok to use out door?
A: It can be used outdoors, but you will need to purchase an outdoor enclosure (sold on bestbuy.com)
