only these features are paid features

Automatic Weather-Based Schedules
Intelligent Weather Skips
Cycle-Soak
Zone Soil Moisture Details
Weather Forecast


But you can likely connect it up to IFTTT (which is now turning subscription based as well over 3 rules)

I've heard this may not work with late model smartphones. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

If you can pick it up locally, buy and if it doesn't work return.

Why is the Rachio so popular? I bought a 12 zone Orbit Hyve for less than $100 that has been working great for 3 years now and it comes in an outdoor housing. It also has a screen and the ability to control it locally if you don't want to use the app. I literally haven't messed with it since setting it up except when searching for leaks in my drip system. 10/10 recommend.

Amazon has is for $95 right now.... it's also Made in the USA (Disclaimer: When a manufacture uses Made in THE USA versus Made in USA then it most likely contains foreign parts)

Average consumers prefer a nicer UI and better looking product over functionality

The Orbit UI is pretty nice though. They have done a lot of improvements to it since I have owned it. The Rachio outdoor box is another $30 ... A plastic box is a plastic box. Orbit also makes indoor units that looks similar to the Rachio. They're like a third of the price compared to Rachio.

I'm with you on that, but it's only 10/month with 3 years free. It'll take 15 years to break even with Rachio.
