Step 1: Replace your old controller.
Test your sprinkler system and remove the old controller, then mount your new Rachio (our handy mounting template can help save time!)
Step 2: Plug existing wires into Rachio.
Easy-press terminals help you quickly snap into place – no screwdriver needed! Match the wires from your old setup for ready-made wiring.
Step 3: Complete setup in the Rachio app.
The streamlined Rachio app helps connect your controller to Wi-Fi and then customize your zones and watering schedules to best meet your yard’s needs.
Control and monitor your yard's watering within the Rachio app.
Watering isn't one-size-fits-all, so you shouldn't have to settle for one-size-fits-all lawn care. Using the Rachio app, you can:
- Automatically avoid watering in the rain or when your yard doesn’t need water
- Customize each zone by plant type, soil type, sun exposure, slope, and spray head
- Choose between two unique schedule types
- Ensure your schedules are running when you and your yard need it
- Get tips and view historical and upcoming watering
- Monitor your water usage from wherever you are in the world
Save water and reduce your environmental footprint.
Get watering schedules tailored to your yard’s needs that adjust automatically based on weather in your neighborhood. With premium Weather Intelligence™ Plus, Rachio 3 is best-in-class for weather prediction and automatic watering adjustments.
Weather Intelligence™ Plus uses advanced weather forecasting and a network of over 300,000 weather stations to deliver the right amount of water for your plants. Rachio automatically skips watering when enough rain is in the forecast, and changes with the weather to adjust for wind, freezing temperatures, actual precipitation values, and more.
See results in as little as four weeks.
Taking control of your watering isn't an overnight fix for your lawn. But over time, Rachio will help your yard grow stronger and healthier.
