It's a pretty good product -- our new house has a sprinkler setup but it needs work. Was easier for now to buy a few long hoses and use this thing. It doesn't tell you how much water it used, but I'm looking into whole-house solutions for that anyway.

I have 5 of these. I don't find them very useful over just plain timers. The only smart feature is the rain skip based on forecast.
EDIT: See my detailed explanation below as to why I dont think these are all that great.
Bought 2 pack in Costco last week ill return it after a week of use because both wifi module is not powering on properly. Used it for a week and it rain and didn't pause my schedule.
Orbit has smart weather features built in, it will skip/adjust watering. That is a huge factor for me
Both have good build quality. Orbit has more features and more smart than Rachio
The Orbit Bhyve reviews are horrendous and I wasn't impressed with Orbit's irrigation controller so I never tried their timers. The best feature in my mind for the Rachio timer is that I can use one controller for all the timers because the signal range is great. Orbit's reviews appear to be plagued by the usb controller with limited range.
