Problems with Rachio + Android

post by Rugbymikes on Feb 24, 2019

Original Title: Android

I just purchased my Rachio Gen 2 controller. I read somewhere there was a problem using it with Android phones. Is this still the case? We are no longer IPHONE users. Please advise before I begin installation and can’t control the unit.

Have all bugs been fixed with setting watering times I read about?

Are updates automatically made to the controller over wifi once installed?

I’m replacing a controller that has 6 zones, 4 pop-ups, 1 motorized, 1 drip line.

Any tips/recommendations are appreciated.

Hey @Rugbymikes! Going to change the title of your post from Android to Problems with Rachio + Android just to make it easier to find in case other users have a similar question.

Have an awesome Sunday!
