Can anyone comment on how Rachio compares with B-hyve by Orbit
Had Rachio at both my previous homes and b-hyve was already installed on current house. Not a huge fan of bhyve. Rachio is easier and more functional for me. Swapping bhyve out.

looks like Costco may be clearing out old inventory ... according to Rachio's website, Rachio 3 was discontinued in February 2022 and replaced with a Pro series model. This article below seems to indicate that all of these old models would already be out of warranty by now. Am I reading that correctly? Can anyone comment on their product quality from experience?

Rachio Pro Series Launch
We're excited to start shipping New PRO Series Controllers on Monday, February 14 exclusively to distribution partners. The PRO Series will replace the current Rachio 3 Smart Sprinkler Controller (all Rachio 3 controllers will stop shipping after February 8, 2022). Rachio will continue to support Rachio 3 warranties which are now 2 years from the date of manufacture.
I think this is catered to landscaping pros. Rachio still sells the 3 on their website https://rachio.com/products/rachio-3/

Does this have a rain gauge to detect watering or does it use some kind of cloud data?

Excellent catch on the discontinuation. That really sucks! I don't want to buy something with a 1 month warranty. It'll be over before I even get to install it in the spring. Definitely canceling my order.

Thanks!

You can plug in your existing Rain Sensor, but it's not required. Rachio primarily uses internet weather data as part of its "Weather Intelligence". On my Gen1 it works great. I love getting the message from the app that watering was cancelled then seeing my neighbor watering in the rain.

I have this and love it. My only complaint is some features in the app require multiple steps to complete. Such as setting a Quick Run for 6 minutes takes 7-8 steps. Rachio should update the app to include less steps.

Rachio had on the website the 6-zone black edition for the same price. It includes valve monitoring that is a software add on for this one

Currently I have an 18-zone irrigation system with an old Rain Bird Controller. Can I use these two 12-zone Rachio 3 Smart Controllers to replace it?

Would be in for one but my 12 Zone B-Hyve is going strong.

Good luck!
