I feel like this must be a joke but in case it's not; Orbit is about the most common residential irrigation controller brand in the U.S.
Here's the (almost) same unit at Home Depot

What? Really? It is pretty known and I in fact have this version and ordered another for backyard. App is not very simple, but simple than many other brands to use. Quick connection and no issues so far... installed for about 4 months. Can be controlled from anywhere!
My complaint about Rachio is it wants to run my sprinklers for like 9 hours. Sure it cycles, but.. come on. I don't want to use like 4,000 gallons of water on a watering day. So I end up just manually setting them to certain times.. so about the only 'smart' I use with rachio is if it sees rain in the forecast it will skip, not just if the rain sensor actively detects rain...

Love the manual feature to trigger a few minutes of watering when needed as well.
Would the Orbit be an easy swap out ?
