"We've been fans of Rachio's smart sprinkler controllers since reviewing the original model in 2015, and with its latest offering, the $229.99 Rachio 3, the Colorado-based company continues to impress. This easy-to-install controller connects to your home Wi-Fi so you can toggle your in-ground sprinkler system from anywhere using your phone, and it offers a few new features including Rachio's Premium Weather Intelligence Plus technology, dual-band Wi-Fi, and compatibility with Rachio's Wireless Flow Meter. Oddly, the newly redesigned app no longer offers year-to-date water usage reports, but that doesn't prevent the Rachio 3 from earning our Editors' Choice for smart sprinkler controllers."
