Switching from Skydrop - any promo timings?

As a few others have posted, Skydrop appears to be out of business with just a few staff keeping the lights on for now. I want to get into a Rachio with Flow sensor, but am not in a rush as the Skydrop is still working for the time being.

Are there any typical sales cycles to be aware of with Rachio? For example, should I wait for Prime Day or do they send promo codes to the mailing list, etc. Might be a good idea for Rachio to specifically target Skydrop users right now.

I’m located in Canada, looking for the 12 or 16 zone. The 12-zone doesn’t appear to sell north of the border at Costco.

Appreciate any tips from the community!
