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.
