Rachio Software

This is the third auto sprinkler clock I have tried in the past 10 years because of incredibly disappointing results and other reasons. Compared to the other two which are not relevant because of technological advances and budget this this app is a dream come true! Even though their information on how much water my lawn should receive is based on their opinion of a proper watering schedule based on the weather is very much different than that of the water conservatory group which I belong to. I have watered according to local landscaping recommended schedule and my grass is the best it’s ever been in the 17 years that I’ve owned this home. The app is easy and I always know what’s going on and I can stop cycles at anytime I want, I can run manual schedules I can completely control the experience I have a super powerful Wi-Fi so it always stays connected and has not failed in three months so far. The reason I chose this brand was because if it’s in Costco, then it has usually passed a lot of consumer-protecting research and tests. I will totally back the opinion of Costco that you get your $$ worth on this system. Love my lawn!

Very easy to install, setup, and connect up. I don't know what the past versions were like, but this one does an awesome job making the system do what it should. I'm very impressed by the weather connection. After installing, we had some rains. It held off from watering to the next day. Very easy to organize the schedule and spontaneous water as needed. The wifi connection couldn't have been easier. Scheduling can be simple, create it and forget about it, or highly detailed in which you can micromanage every zone of your yard on a daily basis. Extremely versitile. The support for this is tremendous. As I look at the reviews, whether good or bad, there seems to be always someone from this app giving supportive feedback. They have a comprehensive list of articles that help the user get the most of of their products. The only thing that I have found is that since they removed the "Scheduling" from the bottom menu and placed in the "Calendar" section. They needed to update that in there online info as well. Someone else had mentioned this in a post as well, if Apple were to design a wireless sprinkler timer, this would be it. Quality packaging and product design.

What a time saver! I love everything about this device and app. It works flawlessly and keeps my garden in ship shape. I have only two suggestions; I would like to be able to time the water flow in seconds. I have a vegetable garden and when I first seed it I need the water to just mist it for around 15 seconds hourly. 1 minute is too much. My other suggestion is that I’d love to be able to arrange the calendar list to my liking. As it is it keeps the list in the order that they’re programmed. To be able to move them around would make keeping track of the schedule much easier. Anyway, my trees and flowers thank you for doing such a great job. This device is one of the best purchases I’ve ever made!
