    That's right. I live in the City of Peoria, Arizona and I received a water bill rebate for the entire cost. It works great. It connected to WiFi without a problem, works with my HomeKit setup, and so far has been reliable.

    Our older system kept running when it was raining and we were not always home to turn it off so we decided to upgrade. Our utility company also gave us a $113 refund for buying this model so that also helped with aiding our decision to upgrade! We had to running for a couple weeks so far and no issues .

    We have been looking for something like this product. It connects to the wifi, and you can control it with the phone app. It has customizable schedules. One option (I saw it today in action) is that it will not turn on if there is rain forecast.

    Now I can individually turn on zones to test heads without having to run back to the pump. Software automatically turns off sprinklers when it rains and auto adjust when heat is beyond the norm. Easy Persian style wiring versus the tiny set screws on my old system.

    This is an excellent replacement for the hunter controller I had. It works like a charm and has all the bells and whistles including an app to control it. I highly recommend it.

    Very easy to install and operate. The entire process took less than half an hour. The intelligent weather feature works really well and knew our area was one that wasn’t getting rain when it was in the general forecast.

    Automates practically everything about maintaining health of the yard. Can also use their automatically-scheduled micro algae feeding system to further manage fertilizing the yard. This system is far better than manually scheduling and guessing.

    Can’t beat having a smart lawn. The auto update features follows local weather, so it knows when to run and not. With full integration with Google Home or Apple Home Kit it’s a must have for any smart home.

    This knows more about watering than you do. Utilizing "WEATHER INTELLIGENCE", it analyzes and predicts how much watering you need. It gives you the ability to override...but resist...let it go. Simple wifi setup, great notifications this will SAVE you water.

    A great upgrade! Went from an automated system with a manual dial and small lcd screen to this system fully-controlled by the app. It does all the work for you, no need to shut off the sprinklers due to wind or rain.

    Set up was kind of a headache since you cant use a Samsung device to do it. Had to borrow my wife's iPhone and went smooth. Everything else zero complaints.

    Top notch wifi sprinkler controller. Suspends watering if it rains. Convenience of controlling system from you cell phone. The only issue I had is that I have a pump that pulls water for sprinkling from a lake. The pump start relay caused the Rachio to error out. I replaced the relay with an Orbitz low amp pump start relay for less than $40 and had no more problems.

    Rachio models were highly recommended by the landscape architect. We have had no problem with ours. The user interface is intuitive and the reliability is good.
