Future of Rachio WebApp & Web Calendar Issues
post by tmcgahey on Jan 10, 2023
Just pinning this message to the top, since we have multiple posts regarding the matter.
Yes, the web app calendar is messed up. Dates don’t show correctly and look wonky, but rest assured that your system is running perfectly fine!
No, this probably won’t be corrected any time soon. Rachio CEO has made it clear that they DO NOT plan on shutting down the web app, but they are also not steering a lot of resources towards it to update it at this time.

Astonishing that sorting dates is considered a resource problem. It’s an embarrassing bug that immediately jumps out to all new users, and any developer worth his salt could fix it within a day.

Yes this is not exactly confidence inspiring. When will Rachio abandon the next portion of what we ostensibly bought and paid for? Sounds like a company that has not learned to walk before they try to run!

Did you not read the part that they ARE NOT doing away with the webapp?

I am perfectly capable of reading, thank you. “Abandon” refers to obviously broken pieces that they chose not to given any attention and fix, or remove. As is this function is useless at best, and distracting and confusing to many new users. It is not an asset to Rachio. I’ve been around the tech industry for a long time. This is not a good sign…

Everyone is entitled to an opinion on the matter. I personally never use the webapp, and honestly find it more of a pain to use than the app on my phone.

How is not having “any plans to enhance the webapp on our roadmap” and not supporting new products, NOT doing away with the webapp? It is clear they are doing away with it.

I hope my prediction does not come true, but I expect that ads are at least being discussed at this point and those are much profitable within mobile app.

Yes, and my opinion is just the opposite. Personally, I rarely, if ever, use the phone app. I find it a pain to use. I just don’t like how small it is on my iPhone.

One of the reasons I chose the Rachio was because it had a web interface so this is not good news for me at all.

This does not speak well to Rachio’s viability or reputation. Rachio certainly knows a good portion of it’s business is via repeat buyers or favorable referrals by existing customers and vendors.

Wonder what their plans are for the Rachio phone app and if they plan on overhauling/improving the logic in the schedules.

I have a Tempest and on my iPhone app it shows up as a device. However, the web app shows my weather source as someone else’s Tempest almost a mile away.

I have the same concern. I just spent a lot of money on the Tempest system, as well as the new Smart Hose Timers and their WiFi hubs. Can’t see any of them in the webapp.

is the weather included? The page was a mess then, today, yep still borked… glad the app seems ok on phone and tablet.

I see this is an old thread and I didn’t notice the history missing from the web app until this spring.
