## Property Fundamentals

  

**What are Rachio Properties?**

Rachio Properties is a feature that groups all connected outdoor devices (like Sprinkler Controllers, Smart Hose Timers, and integrated devices such as WeatherFlow Tempest) located in one physical yard or location under a single listing in the Rachio app.

With Properties, you can:

*   Find all of your devices in one place.
*   Easily coordinate any devices that interact with each other (e.g., Weather Source).
*   Quickly swap between any of your different Properties.
*   Update Weather Source and Weather Skip Threshold settings at the Property level.

**Adding a New Property**

When you connect a new device, you will be prompted to either add that device to an existing property or create a new property where the device will reside.

## Troubleshooting and FAQs

  

**Missing Devices and Duplicate Properties**

If you can't find your Rachio device when you open the app, it may be hidden under a different property or you may have duplicate properties.

*   **Check Property Dropdown:** From the main screen, check the dropdown menu at the top left to see all your available Properties. Tap each one to view the devices inside.
*   **Delete Duplicate/Empty Properties:** To clean up your list, select a property that has no devices, tap the **3-dot menu**, select "**edit property**," and then "**delete property.**"
*   **Wrong Account:** If you still can't find your devices, you may be logged into the wrong Rachio account. Check your profile email under the Account icon.

**Property Transfer Rules and Limitations (Integrations)**

When a Property is transferred, most devices move with it, but integrations (like WeatherFlow Tempest) do not.

*   **Integrations Stay with the Original Owner:** Integrations cannot have their ownership transferred.
*   **Automatic New Property Creation:** If an integration is part of a Property that is transferred, the integration will stay with the original owner, and a new Property will be automatically created on their account for the integration.
*   **Broken Links:** If you move a controller between Properties, the link between that controller and an integration in the original Property will be broken.

**Rachio Pro Properties (Contractors)**

The Pro Properties feature is designed specifically for professional contractors who manage multiple client properties.

*   **How to Enable:** Go to **Account** > **Profile** settings in the Rachio App and check the box next to “**I'm a professional contractor who installs controllers**.”
*   **Pro Features:** Includes a map view, scannable list, search functionality across names and addresses, and the ability to tag favorites for easy filtering. It also includes a **Directions** feature to instantly open mapping apps to a client's location.

**Deleting a Property**

*   When you delete a Property, it will be removed from your account.
*   **All devices associated with the Property will also be deleted** and virtually reset if they are online at the time their associated property is deleted.
