Review: Simple and efficient sprinkler controller - Very easy to use, a lot of modofications available, really good device. The only problem if you don't have US socket, but you can solve it using another adaptor. Review: The best smart irrigation control available; basic Homekit control is a bonus - This is easy. The Rachio is simply the best Smart Irrigation Controller available. The recently added Homekit functionality is a nice addition, but you'll still want to use the Rachio app to get full-access to the incredible number of options for your irrigation needs. There's so many features here, it's hard to know where to start. Perhaps most important, while this controller has a myriad of options, its quite easy to setup and use. Among the features we really liked: setup is super easy. In our case, it was just a swap of the various zone control lines from our old controller to the new, download the Rachio App, and our iphone basically did the rest. It connects via Wifi (not bluetooth), and we had plenty of signal strength in our garage where the controller was located. The Rachio app will ask you some basic questions about each zone (soil and vegetation type, slope, etc) and then recommend watering intervals. Rachio adjusts watering based on weather and season, and its been working great for us for over half a year. We actually installed a home weather station, mainly to feed data to the Rachio 3. This is easier than it sounds. Most weather stations upload data to wunderground, and the Rachio 3 can talk with any wunderground station and use that for micro-weather-forecasting at your location. It's all auto-magic! The Rachio app will show all wunderground stations in your area; in our case, our home-based station was right there, easily selected. Another great feature is the ability to name zones and add a picture for each right into the app. Super easy. Micro-local weather forecasting is fantastic. Rachio uses rainfall, wind, and temperature data to adjust schedules. I'd guesttimate our water bills have decreased 20% thanks to this data, while our plants, lawn, and landscaping have never looked better. As for recently added Homekit control, you get very basic status and manual control via the Apple Home app. Homekit setup was simple: use the Rachio app to get your unique Homekit ID, and then enter this as a new device inside the Home app. Once you do this, the irrigation controller appears, and your zones (with your preassigned names) show up under this irrigation "tile" with a toggle switch for each zone. You can set a manual watering time for each zone, and manually turn them on/off via homekit. You'll still use the Rachio app for all your smart-watering schedules with Homekit as a backup for manual activation and to monitor status of the controller. The ability to include irrigation control in some automations may have some unique uses, and is the one added-feature that Homekit integration brings. For example, a motion sensor on/near the lawn could be used as a Homekit trigger to turn on sprinklers for a short period as a deterrent to cats (or trespassers). We haven't done this yet, but it's tempting... Highly recommended, a no-brainer 5-stars. Rachio features and ease-of-setup are class-leading, weather control is first rate, and homekit monitoring/control is a bonus. ## Features - DITCH THE DIAL – Upgrade to smart irrigation with the free Rachio app for precise, easy control. - AUTOMATIC WEATHER SKIPS – Patented Weather Intelligence skips watering for rain, wind, freeze & more. - SAVE WATER YEAR-ROUND – Adaptive schedules help your yard thrive in April showers & July heat. - FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING – Create your own schedule or let Weather Intelligence adjust automatically; includes grow-in options. - CONTROL FROM ANYWHERE – Manage watering, run zones, view schedules & track estimated usage in the Rachio App. - FAST DIY INSTALL – Install in 30 min or less, compatible with 99% of existing sprinkler systems. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07CZ864Y9 | | Best Sellers Rank | 278,864 in Garden ( See Top 100 in Garden ) 80 in Automatic Irrigation Controllers | | Brand | RACHIO | | Colour | Neutral, Multicolored | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 7,909 Reviews | | Display Type | LCD or LED | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00680140538863 | | Included Components | Controller, power supply, quick start guide, screws and drywall anchors | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 23.1L x 3.6W x 14.2H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Sprinkler Controller, Works With Alexa | | Item Weight | 454 g | | Item weight | 454 g | | Manufacturer | Rachio | | Manufacturer Part Number | 8ZULW-C | | Material | Plastic | | Model Number | 8ZULW-C | | Number of Items | 1 | | Operating Temperature | 4 Degrees Fahrenheit | | Product dimensions | 23.1L x 3.6W x 14.2H centimetres | | UPC | 850028614594 680140538863 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Voltage | 120 Volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** RACHIO - **Colour:** Neutral, Multicolored - **Material:** Plastic - **Product dimensions:** 23.1L x 3.6W x 14.2H centimetres - **Voltage:** 120 Volts ## Images ![Rachio 3 WiFi Smart Lawn Sprinkler Controller, Compatible with Alexa, 8-Zone - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71asdFrVrlL.jpg) ![Rachio 3 WiFi Smart Lawn Sprinkler Controller, Compatible with Alexa, 8-Zone - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71yfGbSY20L.jpg) ![Rachio 3 WiFi Smart Lawn Sprinkler Controller, Compatible with Alexa, 8-Zone - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ExgAox1DL.jpg) ![Rachio 3 WiFi Smart Lawn Sprinkler Controller, Compatible with Alexa, 8-Zone - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-8Z9pk6yL.jpg) ![Rachio 3 WiFi Smart Lawn Sprinkler Controller, Compatible with Alexa, 8-Zone - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61EWBwXjFNL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I have a zone that is under cover and never gets rain. Does the Rachio 3 allow for one zone to run regardless of rain while other zones don't?** A: Despite the answers above, the answer is YES. You can create a separate schedule just for the zone you desire and make it a fixed schedule. You can turn off all the features and that will make it run even if it’s raining or windy or whatever. Than create schedules for the rest of the zones with all the weather features you like. **Q: Does this have a setting for a delay between zones? The controller i'm replacing does not have this delay,it switches between zones fast, hammers pipe** A: Yes, at least with my gen 3, a feature to reduce water hammer will turn on the next zone 10 seconds early allowing no abrupt stop at the end of a zone run. Excerpt from Rachio help: What is Rachio's "Minimize Water Hammer" setting? With this setting, your Rachio Smart Sprinkler Controller will open the 'next' scheduled zone to run in a watering schedule, 10 seconds prior to the end time of the current zone that is running. **Q: Can it be hard wired from the modem/router with cat5 or 6? no wifi where it would be installed. does it have an ethernet data port?** A: No data port — BUT, it works on both 2.4 and 5Ghz bands of wifi. Works very well and connected very easily. Access point is through a wall about 25 feet away. **Q: Can each valve be set up as it's own zone with independent start times and durations?** A: You have to understand that each zone needs to have it’s own solenoid in order to control zones separately. Some homes use an index valve system, and you switch zones by turning off and on, and the water pressure turns the index valve to the next zone. That won’t work with Rachio or any of these kind of systems. You will need to remove the index valve, and rearrange each of the pvc pipes that connected to it. That can be accomplished with a days effort, but you’ll need pvc fittings, a pvc cutter and pvc cement, and a solenoid for each zone you have. Each solenoid has two wires, so you’ll also need sprinkler cable with two conductors for each zone. So for a 5 zone system, your cable needs 10 conductors. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple and efficient sprinkler controller *by U***1 on 18 July 2025* Very easy to use, a lot of modofications available, really good device.
