Rachio Customer Support far better than Orbit. Great controller.
*** Update 30 June 2022 ***Finally, installed controller and completed on the 26th. Ripped out the old manual system and replaced everything. Replaced gate valve with a ball valve, added disc filter, anti-siphon master valve, three valve header with valves (will be adding zone for a flower bed).So far, have the drip system hooked up for the shrubs, roses and trees only. Two weeks ago, ripped out the oleanders and replaced the drip emitters laying on the ground with 24 inch water spikes. Will be pulling up the builder installed sprinkler system in July (the schedule 120 pipe is breaking can't be used) and upgrading and replacing.The only problem I have been having is with Orbit rain and freeze sensor. It is sending the signals in reverse. I have turned off the signal port for now and I like this option of by passing a bad sensor.It has taken 3 days of trying to finally get Orbit to return my call with a text! Still don't have an answer. Rachio returned my call the same day! (if you call in the morning)The cover being held on by magnets is a bit underwhelming, it comes off so easily I'm worried that something tucked into the same corner of the garage might knock off the cover. That's why minus one star.**** Original Review ****Haven't installed unit so far, seriously considering sending it back! Customer service DOES NOT KNOW THEIR PRODUCT. I now do not believe all the positive reviews.All I wanted to know Is if the master control valve can be independently turned on and off.We are upgrading from a manual system to automated and upgrading the piping as well. The are no sprinklers in the back yard and will be running a pipe to the back yard for this purpose. I want to add a water spigot and run it off the master control valve but the chat line the person did not even know the controller could use a master control valve.After educating the customer service rep that the controller has a master control features. He gave me a link that did not go anywhere and could not find it on the webpage!I have trouble thinking the controller to the app on my smartphone and had to wait till Saturday that I can speak with tech support.Found out the rachio 3 and above can link to both 2.4 and 5 GHz.Connecting with 5 GHz solved the

A few tips:
Take a picture of your old modules wiring before hooking this up, it’ll make rewiring the zones that much easier.
Consider a WiFi booster if your garage is too far from your modem to provide a strong enough WiFi signal.
Good luck, I attached a photo of the unit without the faceplate shoeing the wiring for reference.
Review after one year: fantastic and it has probably paid for itself already in water savings.

This Rachio WiFi sprinkler module was a fantastic purchase. After twenty years, our original Hunter module was on the fritz so I replaced it with this. We only have four zones so this eight zone module was plenty. Hook up was simple, WiFi connection was simple and the intelligent watering cycles (which skips watering if it is raining) are very money saving. The Rachio app allows for sprinkler control but it also monitors usage and water savings based on rain. I can guarantee that within this first year I have already saved the purchase price of this unit in saved water because it no longer waters on rainy days and Rachio also tailors watering times to the season and soil type. I’ve recommended these to friends and family who are also very pleased. This has been a great purchase.Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2021
