Reviews of Rachio

  • Difficult to Navigate

    Mechanically, electronically… the system is reliable and durable. However, the App could be a little easier to navigate. (I have been in IT since it was called Data Processing, used punch cards, etc., and involved main frame IBM water cooled 360s, etc. - 1980 …yes, I’m old, 77).
    Often, a firmware update will sneak-in a new feature or move ‘things’ around, to help the user, me, intuitively find where to make sprinkler, drip watering scheduling adjustments, etc., and I have to try to re-find where i have to navigate to do it this time, then re-train my poor brain in order to accomplish a simple task that i used to know how to do. This sometimes results in irrigation changes i did not intend to make and weeks later i discover them, then i have to re-learn the user interface to try to figure out what i screwed up, where in the numerous areas i was when i messed things up, then how to ‘fix’ the problem i created for myself.

    REQUEST: Rachio User Interface programmers: Please incorporate user-selectable feature ‘explanations’ that can be accessed by easily tapping a ‘?’ Symbol next to the feature in the App’s user interface.
    You’ll be helping me to reduce my numerous therapy visits to the local ‘Asylum’, and my dog won’t be so nervous.

  • Would like improvements for hose timer

    The app is pretty good for the new smart hose timer but they do not do a good job of providing usage instructions.

    Some areas that need improvement.
    * notifications for no water flow detected when the valve should be ON can be enabled.
    However, notifications are not available for water flow detected when the valve should be OFF. This is important to me because the failure mode of my previous hose timer was water still running and flooding things after the water interval had ended.

    * there are no notifications for low batteries.
    They say notifications for dead batteries but I do not know what that really means.
    There is a battery gauge in the app but, I am not likely to frequently go looking to see what it says. I need to know when the batteries are getting low so I can change them before problems.
    They say the batteries should last a watering season but that can be year round some places so a low battery warning is important.

    * I only have support’s word about notifications for lost connection meaning the hub and/or valve are offline. Dead batteries could look like that. Internet down could look like that. Valve out of hub range could look like that. Hub out of WiFi range could look like that. Etc.

    Users need to be made aware of anything that indicates something is not right or that seems likely to soon not be right.

  • Attention all prospect non-US based users…

    Rachio app doesn’t let you enter a non US address. As a result if you intend using Rachio watering programmer outside of the US, you will most probably have to email their support to enter your non-US address; and even then you might as well continue having problems. In my own case after contacting Rachio support and requesting them to enter my local non US address, instead of correcting my problem they moved my Rachio time zone to another time zone which is minus 9 hours behind my time zone. As a result in order to setup Rachio to start watering locally at, say 9am local time I have to program it to start watering at 12 midnight Rachio app time…such a mess! In addition: forget any smart watering functions, the weather environment that Rachio thinks my garden is located at, is not of course my local weather, but rather the weather of that minus 9 hours other-side-of the-world time zone that Rachio support have setup my Rachio watering computer!
