yupper and maybe redo the location of the screws holding the control box to the wall..........
Since it monitors temp, rain, humidity, wind, it will reduce your water usage all by itself. And, no monthly fee!
I have to manually water through the app and constantly check it. Was alot more expensive than the Rainbird too. At least I can manually water from my phone (the Rainbird was installed on a wall that wasn't easy for me to get to in my garage). But that's about it. I've not been impressed by this at all.
Had to spend alot of extra money and time to reseed this fall. I felt like Rachio should have paid for that because the software is so terrible and caused my grass to die by failing to water properly.

I had the opposite results. My rainskip works like a breeze. only a few times did it not water and not rain(the rain was within a mile or 2). Great to check sprinkler heads and throw when your in the yard and use your phone. Ive had mine a few years and my landscaper/ irrigation guy is turning people on to "the rachio" once he saw mine. Im totally pleased with mine. another feqature i like is the "quick run" which allows you to run the zones in a custom mode. Im using it now to water in my overseed for the winter.
Without an outside moisture meter of some type, the software can't really work well. It's just not possible. The forecasts are too imprecise in their data to deliver a good product.
Anyone who says that this works good by going off the local online weather data is full of it.

I don't have one of these but I have 80 smart devices and there are many similar smart things in there, for example my ac is controlled by power company, during hot days I can't turn on the AC and vice versa sometimes it makes it so cold so they can make more money off of me. Also I have settings on smart things to shut off AC if any door is left open more than 2 minutes or turn off garage lights or pool pump if it has been left on more than 30 minutes.

I have a self driving Tesla Model Y and I don't blame it if the drives into a Semi. I read the instructions. If my grass didn't get watered and I let it die on set up I would consider me as a possible contributor. I keep my hands on the wheel. Just me.
