Whether you already have an irrigation controller installed, or you are in the market for an entirely new irrigation system, the only thing you need to connect Iro is WiFi and an Apple or Android mobile device. Detailed Installation Requirements
Instead of conventional controllers that simply send electrical signals to your system at the same times every week, Iro receives custom, dynamic commands from its software that automatically adjust your schedule, based on weather, for optimal watering.
Unlike your typical irrigation system controllers, the Iro does not have any knobs or buttons. The system is controlled through an app on your phone that has been designed specifically to make your experience painless and intuitive. It also ties in the weather, adjusting your watering schedule automatically.
Just like Green Mountain is a different kind of electricity provider, Rachio is a different kind of sprinkler controller. It makes running your sprinklers easy and convenient while saving you water and money.
- Instantly take control from anywhere. Rachio gives you complete access to adjust your sprinkler system from your Android, iOS and laptop devices.
- Weather intelligence. Waters automatically based on past, present, and future weather plus seasonal adjustments. No need to worry about updating schedules.
- Saves you water and money. EPA WaterSense certified smart watering, including automatic rain delays, can save you over 50% of your outdoor water use. Plus, eligible for rebate options up to 100% of retail value.
- Easy installation. Replace your current controller within 30 minutes. Works with any sprinkler system up to 16 zones, with no special tools or expertise required, and connects with your home Wi-Fi.
- The most connected sprinkler controller. Integrates with Nest, Amazon Alexa, IFTTT, Wink, Control4, Nexia and other top tier home automation systems for expanded functionality.
- Designed for the future. Cloud-based software allows for constant updates, expanded capabilities, and integration with new platforms.
