Main Irrigation Valve
post by JeremyLewis on Apr 14, 2020
Looking at picking up a Rachio controller for my home. Does the controller have the ability to control a main shut-off valve for the irrigation…like maybe assign one of the zones as a main?

@JeremyLewis - Yes. That is known as a Master Valve and is connected to the M (Master Valve or Pump Start Relay) terminal on the Rachio. Also, one will need to configure the Master Valve option in the app to activate the valve.
Good luck and welcome to the community.
