Possible New Customer - Question please
post by Rx008 on Apr 14, 2025
Product: Rachio 3rd Gen: Smart 4-Zone Sprinkler Controller
Question: Example: If the weather forecast is for lets say 45% chance of rain from the hours of 2pm-10pm but my watering schedule is set to run from 4am to 6am, will the Weather Intelligence skip the cycle or it will run it as the forecast is no rain during my schedule time…
Just trying to gain a better understanding on the product function.

Reply: @Rx008 - the answer is - it depends…
a. what type of schedule (fixed or flex daily)
b. how much rain is forecast versus the rain skip (for fixed) or ground saturation (flex daily)
Rachio looks backwards 24 hours and forwards 24 hours to see how much rain happened or is forecast to happen.
