Watering is easy with a smart hose timer
I cannot rave positively enough about the Rachio smart timer. I started with a set up on my greenhouse. Success! Then moved to all the raised bins in the large fenced garden as well as some in the ground flower gardens. They are easy to install and get going. Best of all, when I’m away and see there hot weather at the garden, I can give them an extra drink. I cannot recommend these enough. And the bundles helped me save some dollars. And, the Rachio customer service is excellent. Thanks!

Easy
It's easy to set up you. Can move everything from your rachio 2 to the 3 with little effort. It arrived quickly. And customer service was outstanding and helping me with the problem that I had with the rachio 2

I was in the lawn maintenance sprinkler business for over 40 years. The rachio 3 has been one of the easiest controllers to use.

Simple and convenient
Love this controller. I have it at 2 properties. It is simple to install and set up. Make sprinkler adjustments a one man job with the ability to turn on and off at any area in the yard.

Great timer for my plants
I received my new Rachio timer and it is woking very well. However it keeps on saying that the faucet needs to be turned on as there is no water coming out. There is water coming out.

New house, new Rachio, same great results
We recently moved to Florida, and upgraded our old sprinkler controller to the new Rachio. We also are using hose valves for drip system. We'd used Rachio before, in California, and appreciated the water savings from rain skip, smart watering, and automatically adjusting the watering schedule based on weather. In Florida, being able to detect if the 'zip code rain' watered our area is a game changer. We're not over watering, which is saving us money as well as preventing lawn and garden health issues.

Big Improvement
the Rachio 3 Smart Sprinkler Controller is a big upgrade over our previous controller. We love the convenience of turning it on and off from our phones.

Best Purchase ever
I love this. I use it to control hoses that I have to keep my swimming pool filled to the right level. I have it to a regular schedule but I also can use the af hoc schedule when necessary. I just kept track of the pool while I was 5000 miles away. Thanks for a simple but effective, well designed, well made, affordable, product.

Hose timer
I have a Rachio 3 that is great. I expanded my yard plantings into a forest area in my yard that had no sprinkler system. I purchased this Rachio hose timer to try and irrigate this area which was successful with a large tripod sprinkler. The area covers 2500 sf. It has also been great. Works with the Rachio app and allows me to water regularly. I was able to focus on planting and didn’t worry about watering.

Fantastic system!
Swapped out an old controller unit that required a computer to make system changes via a USB stick. Only took me about ten minutes. The Rachio is so much nicer and easy to use! The app is fantastic and the unit has already saved me around 1500 gallons of water with the rain skip feature. I heartily recommend this unit!

Absolutely Professional and Put Together!
I purchased a Rachio 3 Smart Sprinkler Controller to replace my current Hunter X2 with WiFi/Bluetooth, which had honestly been glitchy beyond belief. However, when I reached out to my sprinkler service company about swapping out the old Hunter system for the new Rachio, they offered me a free upgrade to a Hunter Pro-HC system instead. So while I was genuinely excited about the Rachio after reading so many excellent reviews, I ultimately decided to save the money and take the installer up on the offer. That said, I still wanted to leave a positive review for Rachio Support because they were fantastic to work with. They responded quickly, were professional and helpful, and since I hadn’t even opened the box yet, they immediately sent me a free return shipping label and processed a full refund with zero hassle. Honestly, the entire process was much smoother and easier than I expected. Great customer service all around. Thanks again, Rachio team!

Very pleased with the quality of the hardware and software (Android app) for this Rachio 3 set. I wish they had a 18 zone controller for my next deployment.

My smart hose timer
It’s the best!! I use it for suppling motion sensor sprinklers that keep the deer away at night when they are active and I can easily shut it off if we are going out or coming home or if company is coming over I think it’s awesome

I finally broke down and got one after installing few on customers systems. I love the fact that I have access to my customers systems to turn on the system when I do a lawn application. I will definitely try to sell more of these to customers!

So easy to install and use
I purchased these valves just a couple of months ago and modified my existing irrigation system to accommodate a 4-way split valve drip system. They incorporated nicely into the Rachio app in just a couple of steps. Now, I can set up multiple zones for different types of vegetables, trees, and herbs. It's a good way to split up zones for specific purposes. I even have one valve ready to feed into a greenhouse. Highly recommended!

Star of the Garden
Rachio Smart Hose Timer is awesome! Since they added the ability to use more than 1 valve at a time it is now the garden star. I use 1 valve as a primary valve at the house and run a 200ft hose to the garden where I have 3 "zone" valves. That way I do not have to run 3 hoses to the garden and I don't need to leave the primary 200ft hose under pressure when it is not in use. I never have a problem with wireless range and they always work on time.

So far so good
In the week it’s been operating, it seems to be functioning as it should. I confess I'm not getting up before dawn to check! Once I figured out how to set the days and run times, the set-up was easy. And I like sharing it with my tree whisperer so he can adjust scheduling if I'm not there.

Owner
I am updating you on the purchase. I purchased this Rachio for my daughter’s home to replace a RainBird unit. I purchased my in 2016 and love it. I will install hers in a few days. As a good dad would do, I remotely control her unit. At some point I will turn it over to her to manage. The WiFi is super. 🙏🏻

Conversion to Rachio 3 Controller
The system was easy to hook up and program. The app is intuitive to use and the controller already making good decisions to skip water cycles based on local weather. I would recommend to everyone.

Great system
I upgraded to the Rachio and I wish I had done it sooner. They are very easy to install and manage on my phone. I highly recommend the Rachio system. You can set it up to skip when it has rained or if it is too windy. It monitors the weather and soil moisture content and adjusts the watering as needed.

Great controller!
I upgraded to this from an orbit that was total garbage! So garbage that they suppressed my negative reviews! I love your controller so far and it does everything I need. I run city water and irrigation ditch water so the extra inputs are helpful as is the pump/valve output.

A pleasure to use
I have a large ranch with dozens of watering zones. I now have four controllers and plan to order more. It’s a pleasure to be able to coordinate and monitor remotely. I use one zone to control filling my irrigation tank from my well. Really a time saver! I highly recommend these!
