What Rachio does
Rachio is the companion app for a Rachio Smart Sprinkler Controller. It lets you manage an installed sprinkler system from an Android phone instead of using the controller directly. The app is designed for homeowners who want a simpler way to control lawn and garden watering.
Scheduling and remote control
The app can create an automatic watering schedule based on the setup of your yard, then use that schedule to run the connected sprinklers. You can also access and manage the system remotely, which is useful when you are away from home or want to check watering without going outside.
Rachio is intended to make regular irrigation easier to oversee and may help reduce unnecessary water use and related costs through automated scheduling. It works with Rachio’s smart sprinkler hardware rather than serving as a standalone sprinkler controller.

- Homeowners with lawns or gardens: Automatic schedules can reduce the need to manage each watering cycle manually.
- People who want remote access: The connected setup allows sprinkler management from away from home.
