Rachio Smart Sprinkler Controller Generation 2 Review

What if your irrigation controller had Wifi capabilities and could connect to the Internet?

And what if through that connection, it could receive localized weather reports and make intelligent decisions about whether it should cancel your scheduled watering if rain is forecast.

Or if it should run them now, as scheduled, if the soil is still moist.

What if you could interface with your irrigation controller through a phone app or the web? See watering logs, view water usage graphs, and setup and control zones?

You can... with Rachio.
