This must be a joke. These are very easy to setup. Love mine. Will save you well over $100 in a couple months
I'm not really tech savvy, but I had mine set up in less than 10 minutes...that actually included removing the old unit. Was by far the easiest and simplest "complex" if you could call it that controller that I've ever set up.
Another vote that this is easy to set up. Replaced an old controller in 10 minutes and set up the app/zones/map in another 15 minutes. There isn't much to this if you are starting from an existing system. This thing is worth the price.

There is big (i mean long) blue LED always On, I could not figure it out to turn it off and neither could google find a solution. Just wondering if anyone know a way to turn it off (I don't want to put a masking tape over the LED as few suggested in the Rachio blog)

If you have not checked, there is a setting in the app for it.

Check with your local municipality. Mine has a deal where home owners can get this for...$35. Your choice of the 8/16, and I took the 16 as I had 9 zones Frown

My neighbor hats the idea of a wifi-enabled sprinkler and has a manual rain bird that came w/the house. He knows about the deal as the city made it well known it existed.

.....I've avoided so many dumb days where rain has popped up and laugh at those who are watering their lawn during it.

Again, this may be the ULTIMATE YMMV but similar to how some municipalities offer free affairs that others don't...yours too may have one for a Rachio 3.

Yes I did check with my local municipality and they did not offer any rebates/discounts/incentives. I ended up finding someone on FB marketplace who was able to offer it for the price as in this post.

I've had two of these dead on arrival, one build date of 10/23, another 02/24

I wire it up which to their credit is super easy. Plug it in and... Nothing.

Power adapter is putting out ~33.6V which according to their docs is not in spec.

Probably going to return it for another brand altogether
