The Rachio 3rd Generation couldn't be easier to set up and use. It took all of 10 minutes. The ability to customize each zone along with your area is perfect. I had my doubts about the wifi hook up to the weather "BUT IT WORKS" No more watering in the rain. Thanks Rachio !!!!

I purchased this conroller after hearing a user praise it and wanting a panel I could remotely access. It was easy to install and configure and it is nice to have one that takes into consideration recent percipitation. I like the way it alternates between zones for better absorption and less runoff. However....it isn't close to being problem free. After an 1" of rain it notified us that the cycle would be skipped but at 4 am another notification that it was going to run. Who is up at 4 am to override this last minute decision? So to promote this as better water conservation is a bit of a misnomer. After several incidents like this, I called support which is overseas and the agents are difficult to understand. She had me change my setting for the lawn to every other day and the flower beds on their own Flex schedule. There are problems with both of these programs. It still checks the weather but of the 10 lawn zones, only 8 ran one night. It didn't notify me, only told me it completed the schedule and how long it ran. I discovered it by chance in the history. The flower bed had a similar issue. It said it ran which to me means both zones. The history showed it ran but we have one area that needs to be fixed as the water drains away and I expect to see standing water on the patio but that area was dry. I knew it had not run. I called support again and waited 40 minutes and talked to an oversees agent whose accent was so heavy I could hardly communicate with him. After not understanding hardly a word he said, I gave up. I didn't want to wait another 40 minutes to call back so may just spend that time returning this. I would rather rely on a product that I know is going to run and that I can manually turn off than have to babysit one that is unpredictible.

Amazing upgrade! My sprinkler company wanted to sell me a bird at $395. Do it yourself and you wont regret the features and control of your sprinkler system.

A bit overwhelming when setting the app but overall fantastic.

We have just redone our landscaping and Rachio has been a great addition to our smart home. Plus, if you're in LA, you can get a huge rebate from DWP!

Set up was a breeze and the rain skip smart feature automatically skips watering when rain is coming. Makes it much easier than remembering to turn off the old system.

We have LOVED this system. It has made a huge difference in our yard. Love being able to manage zones and watering from my phone, and the smart features are incredible.

Had it in my old house, works exactly as great as it did before.

Good as good as good good good good good good good good

Never have to think about how much to water again! Rachio does all the leg work. Waters more when it's hot and does not water when it rains.

The best of the best. Super duper intelligent sprinkler controller if you ask me.

This is the best way to modernize your irrigation set up and get it on your home automation preference. You need a relay if you have a well pump.

Easy to install and program with smartphone. Saves me lots of watering time by scheduling and monitoring weather conditions to water just the correct amount. Love it!

We were looking for an outdoor installable system and this product is perfect with the matching enclosure.

Solid smart sprinkler that is easy to install. Even got a 75 dollar rebate from watersense utah.

Works great . Really like the flexibility of programming my sprinklers from my phone.

Replaced old unit and this is fantastic for controlling from phone and also having weather related overrides.

Great controller. I would recommend to anyone looking for a smart controller.

Love this item don’t have to worry about turning off during rainy days because the Rachio knows not to water the lawn during weather change.

Worth every penny. Merry Christmas and happy birthday hope you’re having a great day!
