Merging multiple controllers schedule

Post by HarvestWayne on Oct 9, 2019

I have 2 Rachio controllers, a #2 and a #3. I just added #3 since I needed more zones for my yard. When will Rachio provide the merging of 2 or more controller schedules together as 1 combined schedule?

Hopefully soon or a controller with more than 16 stations.

Don’t hold your breath. @franz has made it pretty clear that it isn’t on their roadmap due to the extremely small number of consumers that need more than 16 zones.

If Rachio is counting, count me in as a person with two controllers which I would like to treat as one big one. I doubt it is that uncommon!

Count me in. I have 3.

I have 5 controllers. I use the IFTT app to download actuals into a google spreadsheet and then create an integrated schedule based on actuals. Still don’t see individual stations. Would be nice if Rachio did this.

Count me in as well! I’ve been requesting this for almost four years. I have four controllers. Currently just using three (combined zones to make scheduling easier). Not all my controllers have 16 zones being used. It’s the fact that I have 2.5 acres and not all my zones are wired back to a central location.

Count me in for support of merging multiple controllers. I have 2 running off the same water source. It is a pain in the .... to switch between the 2.

Put me down too. I have 28 zones. (and would like a couple more)

This really shouldn’t be a big deal programmatically. It really is about customer service.

If you want to just be able to have basic remote access to a controller, that is fine, and there are a lot of other, much cheaper options on the market to do so.

I don’t know about your automation, but mine reads the weather from my Davis vantage pro 2 sensor array. With the intelligence I put into the scripts it is far superior to the stock Rachio web schedules.

Thanks for the feedback. Just curious what type of intelligence you added?

Would really be awesome if we could get an update on this. There are multiple threads and requests for this feature.

Don’t hold your breath guys they clearly made this so much more complicated than they had to. Take a look at this 9 year old thread.

I’d buy another Rachio if the schedules could be combined. I run manual schedules, one Rachio, one “dumb” controller.
