Your dad's water pressure must be very good for doing that.

For those that have gone from the Rachio 2 to 3, is it worth the upgrade?
·
My sprinkler system has 10 zones. Looks like only Costco has 12 zone Rachio. Amazon has both 8 and 16 zone Rachios.

My dad has 9 zones and a Rachio 2
He actually was able to wire two zones into one connector on the Rachio.

I bet that won't work for everyone, but his system works just fine doing so since he has no issues with water pressure.

Maybe the same may work for yours. If not, free returns!

Been in the market as my Toro is ancient and may be malfunctioning (my problem may also be a valve a repair job I don't want to do so hoping the problem is the controller) so plan to try a new controller first (had a camel set at 180 for the rachio 3). Have 7 zones. Based on this pricing it would seem I should just get the Costco one for $10 cheaper (and have five unused zones - wasteful, but this is why God made America). Time to pull the trigger?

Just installed a 4 circuit system in my front yard controlled by orbit b-hyve. So far works great love the app and I can control up to 12 circuits (future upgrade to backyard sprinkler). I also purchased a hose timer from orbit.

Rachio has been my favorite controller and software for years! Had it installed and setup at three houses (Mother, Mother-in-law, Mine) and it made it easy to customize and automate watering at all 3 houses. I've only got the original but keep wanting to get an upgraded one if they have even more bells and whistles! Early on the company even took some of my requests and added them to the app. Awesome!

Rachio 3 has HomeKit and Rachio 2 doesn't.
