Understand Your Irrigation
Your sprinkler system is set up into zones that are activated from a controller. But it’s hard to remember which is which when they’re just wires connected to numbers. Rachio makes it easier to understand with images and names.
Simple Scheduling
The core function of any sprinkler controller is to run schedules at a pre-determined time. But your old controller might be difficult to navigate if you don’t have a manual handy.
- Fixed Schedules: We’ll provide recommendations but you set specific days and times for your watering (this is helpful if you have watering restrictions).
- Flex Schedules: We’ll provide updated watering schedules on a daily or monthly basis; great for those that want to set it and forget it.
- Overseeding Schedules: Easily set up regular watering for supporting new growth in your lawn.
Scheduling Adjustments
Rain Skip
These activate if you have recently received a lot of rain or rain is expected soon.
Seasonal Shift
This modifies your run times based on the season so that you’re not watering the same in the early spring and the heat of the summer.
Heat Wave Boost
This premium feature recommends schedule adjustments based on your forecast.
Monitor Usage
It’s important to know how all of these features are working so Rachio makes it easy to track your sprinkler system usage in minutes - not complicated metrics that are hard to understand.
Most users can expect to save 20% or more water compared to traditional controllers. That adds up to more money in your pocket and less wasted water.

Billions of Gallons of Water Saved (And Counting)
Water waste is a big issue in the United States (particularly for western states), and things like excessive or unnecessary watering can make matters worse. The EPA estimates that up to 50 percent – yes, HALF – of the water we use outdoors "is lost due to wind, evaporation, and runoff caused by inefficient irrigation methods and systems." Rachio is working to fix this.
With the help of Rachio users across the country, we have been able to conserve billions of gallons of water since 2014.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who can use a Rachio Smart Sprinkler Controller? Rachio controllers come in 4, 8 and 16-zone variants and work with most in-ground irrigation systems. (If you use a pump start relay, some additional parts may be necessary.) You’ll also need a strong Wi-Fi where the controller will be installed and a smartphone to set up your schedules.
Can I share my controller with other users, like my family, lawn pro, or gardener? You bet! Our Shared Access feature allows you to share different levels of access with whomever you’d like!
Can Rachio controllers be installed outside? Yes, but you will need to purchase a Weatherproof Enclosure for outdoor installations.
Can I install the controller myself? Yes, most customers can install a Rachio controller in 30 minutes or less without the need of any special tools. To mount the controller you may want to use drywall anchors (included) that require a drill and screwdriver.
