Check on and run your sprinklers from anywhere in the world on your smartphone (or with our web app). Rachio is so intelligent that it skips waterings when you have plenty of moisture in your soil. It automates the amount of water your vegetation needs to stay healthy and green and integrates with many other smart home products! With leading smart watering control, hyperlocal Weather Intelligence™ Plus, and more, the Rachio 3 helps you monitor and manage your outdoor water use.
