Customer Ratings & Reviews

My Rachio set up and programmed easily. Make sure to test WI fi signal at controller location. My signal was very strong. So far (2 months) has worked without a hitch. Only down side is not offering a package with an outdoor controller box. Thought it may fit in my old box but it is too small. Had to be modified to make it work temporarily. Now have to order a box from their website delaying completion of install. Bit pricey too.

This works great. Added the sprinkler system to my home automation. Very easy to install. Ordered the 16 zone and was able to combine multiple controllers into one. Very nice app for mobile device. Access from pc is also great. I have no complaints with this device. Works better than expected.

I upgraded my Hunter Pro-C controller to the Iro. The Iro is in an entirely different class in terms of ease of use and water efficiency. Anyone with an old, 'dumb' controller should consider upgrading. Instead of relying on just the rain sensor, it knows how much it rained and how much rain is expected and will skip cycles to save water. I found it easy to self-install, but fairly complex to configure the zones. Rachio tech support was responsive and generally helpful, but did not have the technical expertise to advise on zone and nozzle settings. After having my sprinkler guy check the settings, we were able to reduce the watering times from a crazy ~13 hour to a reasonable 3-4 hour cycle.

Has not failed since setting up. Great to Control irrigation via web. It even adjusts watering times and schedule to correspond to local weather conditions.

This thing is great. I use the smart scheduler - it decides which zones to water, when, and how much. It decides based upon local weather stations very near your home. You can also control everything from a smart phone tablet or laptop. The one caution is that there are absolutely no controls on the unit itself. It cannot be controlled manually. This is not a problem, but something buyers should be aware of. Overall an excellent product.

First i was hesitant to get this as there is not interface in the system to control, turns out, you dont need it. It works seamlessly over Wifi and LTE connections and I am happy. Even they upgraded the app recently and constantly updating with new features. one thing i am disappointed in the app is they removed the option to run the scheduled circuits.

Easy set up and configuration. Auto adjust to weather conditions feature is nice. Used it for about 3 months. Best Part is ease of manual scheduling.

The Rachio Iro 16 zone controller is very well designed and simple to install. Very pleased with the purchase.

This system is even more advanced than I could have imagined. It allowed me to take pictures to label each zone and do an advanced setup for each zone. Setup was very easy.

I love my Rachio. For the price it's so worth it. It is infinitely more intuitive than the archaic thing you have now. I especially appreciate that they do not charge any monthly fees. There is only one upfront cost which is totally reasonable. And it was easy to install! Great instructions.

I've been very impressed with the Rachio Wireless Sprinkler Control System. Having the ability to control my sprinklers via my phone, online, or with the Wink is great. The automatic weather updates and seasonal adjustments are very cool and help save water.

I was tired of my old dial controlled irrigation time and wanted to switch to something a bit smarter. Once I found out that I would get a rebate from my water company, it made the upgrade a no-brainer. This Rachio device installed quickly and easily - I took a picture of the wiring on my old timer and then removed it. Attached this one to the wall, put the wires back in the same order, and I was up and running. The longest part was programming the zones, but once those were done, the Rachio took over. It has worked flawlessly ever since. One thing - I would recommend going with the 2nd generation version of this timer...it has some improvements that make the operation of the device even easier!

Works great. Easy install. Easy setup. Great thing is updates are automatic.

Very easy to install and has worked perfectly. I love how it knew not to run the sprinklers on a cold day (knew there could be frost) and on rainy days.

I wish I would've bought this a long time ago. Simple and easy to use, but with features that make it worthwhile. Definitely a must have for any sprinkler system owner with wifi connection..

My irrigation used to run 4 days a week for 30 mins each for 5 zones. This product works exactly as it should. Due to all of the rain we have had this month so far my irrigation has only run 1 day. That is going to save me huge on my water bill. It only took me about 10 min to install and another 10 to set up. Easy simple and effective. If your like me I don't want to have to think about my irrigation. Most of the time I forget I even have it.

So I ended up returning my 16 and installed the next generation 8 zone. The next gen was pretty much the same but they added some manual controls incase you wanted to turn on your system without a phone (maybe your gardener...). The 8 zone was only $199 and my city water provider actually paid me in full for the controller as part of a conservation initiative. Works awesome!

Great purchase that saves time and money. Easy Setup. Works As Expected. Scheduling is much easier than before.

Super easy to use, very intuitive and convenient! Setup was somewhat tricky with regards to connecting to Wifi. But once you get past that hiccup, the unit runs flawlessly. Super convenient to troubleshoot your sprinklers remotely via cellphone instead of having to run in and out of your garage to activate/shutoff the sprinklers the old fashion way. HIGHLY recommend this unit.

I heard about this device from a friend and replaced my ancient controller which is difficult to program. Can't wait to use this in summer!
