What is Direct Access?
Direct Access is a feature designed for Rachio professional partners. This feature should only be activated if you are an irrigation or building professional trying to connect or configure a new controller without Wi-Fi.
Direct Access allows professionals to add new schedules to meet landscaper needs and is not intended for homeowner use.
Note
Direct Access is only available for Rachio 3 Smart Sprinkler Controllers.
