Water waste is a big issue in the United States (particularly for western states), and things like excessive or unnecessary watering can make matters worse. The EPA estimates that up to 50 percent – yes, HALF – of the water we use outdoors "is lost due to wind, evaporation, and runoff caused by inefficient irrigation methods and systems." Rachio is working to fix this.

With the help of Rachio users across the country, we have been able to conserve billions of gallons of water since 2014.

I hated the legacy way of scheduling now it's easy and intuitive not to mention saving money with auto delays and extra features

Watering is now fun

Great product

Very happy with this choice after researching the various options out there. Also bought the Tempest weather station to utilize hyper local weather data. The system has already skipped water sessions due to wind, freezing temperatures, and rain above the set threshold, exactly as intended!

So glad I got this!

My garden is now being irrigated in a timely manner

New controller

Love it all. From ease of set up to intuitive functionality I love being able to conserve water and do my part!

Love

We are very satisfied with the operation of our new Rachio 3 sprinkler controller. It works as advertised and is saving water by not operating during high rain periods. It’s just recently been installed so we’ll have the full summer to test it and we believe it will work as promised.

Johnson Home

My new system I so much easier to use than my old system.

Ease

Rachio 3 smart controller

Easy to set up and track. Rachio sopped a couple of watering cycles automatically because of anticipated rain or the soil being saturated and we have only had it a couple of weeks. Will definitely pay for itself with saved watering expense.

Controller was easy to install and program.
I would recommend to others

Happy with new Controller

It's high quality and easy to use. I would like to see more recommendations from the app regarding how to water in your particular area but overall very impressed.

It's Excellent

System has been everything I was hoping for and then some! Super easy to install, program and monitor!

First Month Review

It didn't even take 30 minutes. Very impressed, works great.

Changed out my old system and this works great

Easy hook up. Runs great. Very convenient.

Great controller

My 25-year old Rainbird controller began last summer to start an extra watering cycle at 11:30 PM all on its own. So on advice of my winterization guy, I made a November (yes this is Michigan) purchase of Rachio 3. I will make the swap in ~April when our tundra thaws.

Advance Purchase

Excellent product, easy to install and setup and replacement for old models, very convenience…Hi recommended. Thanks Rachio.

Rachio 3

This controller is smarter than I am! It knows when it has rained, if its too windy too water, or too cold to water. I never have to worry about using more water than necessary.

I love my Rachio controller. I like being able to let the software determine when the watering schedule should be adjusted because of the weather.

Fantastic

New Rachio 3

Great irrigation controller and exterior enclosure…

State of the art

Winter here now. Waiting for spring to install.

Winter here now. Waiting for

Works

Upgraded to the Rachio 3, everything was easy with this item. Worked great the last 2 months and now in hibernation mode till spring. When it wakes up I’m sure it’ll be fine!!!

Had to update because my old Rachio wifi was obsolete. Easy transfer & install, now the wifi is great.

Easy transfer from old Rachio

I had an old Rainbird controller and finally got fed up with the inability to control it with my phone. After much research, I finally decided to go with Rachio, since it seemed to be a disrupter in the space.

Switching of the controllers could not have been easier and the wiring was trivial. Connecting the controller to the WiFI works like other modern devices, such as Nest or Chromecast. After connecting, the zone setup was trivial as I could just walk around the property trying them one by one.

All I want now is a wireless soil moisture detector, but that does not yet seem available.

Easy and even easier

We love it.It's great for our services.I think this is our eighty eighth system in payson.

Saving the planet one drop at a time.

I switched from my original Rachio to the upgrade and had no problems. It appears to be working fine.

I replaced the original Rachio with Rachio 3. Seemless

Very easy to install and replace the old one.

New Controller

I bought 2 Rachio. One for the front-yard and the other for the backyard. Awesome

Great purchase

Love it so far. Just got it installed this past Friday. Works well.

My Rachio

We installed on at our retirement home, across the country from where we live today. It's awesome not to have to worry about wasting water!

Excellent Controller

It arrived in a few days and appears to have arrived undamaged. With hurricanes back to back rain has been plentiful.

Not yet installed

Connected so easily to my home WiFi. What a relief!

WiFi connection

Great installation support. Did not quite figure out my wiring problem, but eliminated enough variables to allow me to find the issue. Valve monitoring with calibration cycle is a big plus for Gen3.

Rachio Gen3 Upgrade

I added a second controller for a new set of valves in my backyard. It was easier and more cost effective to do, rather than run long wires to the original Rachio controller. Works great! Easy to access both units on one app page. System was super simple to set-up and run. Perfect solution!

Second controller for backyard

Rachio 3 Smart Sprinkler Controller works great. Am very pleased with the purchase and makes my life considerably easier.

Great sprinkler controller

Great Controller,
After using now for couple of months it is the best controller I have ever used. Simple to setup and best of all can be controlled by cellphone so you do not have to go outside all the time to make adjustments.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to upgrade.

Great Controller, After using now

I have had many sprinkler controllers over the years and none have them have been easy to program. A friend introduced me to Rachio and I have not looked back. So easy to use and so smart!

Finally a Sprinkler Controller That Is Easy To Use!

Very easy to install, so nice to have it monitor the weather, app to control it works great.

Such a great Controller

So far so good. Using much less water and do not have to worry about watering when it is raining.

Rachio Timer.

Excellent product. The internet connection and the phone app are very useful.

Very useful

I love that I don’t have to worry about my plants watering schedule. Rachio knows what the plants need every day and every season.

No Worries

I love this controller. I had one installed at my building and it is so easy to use from my phone. I ordered an additional one for my house. The best feature is operating it from my phone. When geese decide to hang out in our yard I just turn on the sprinkler and they are gone.
