It used to be that Smart devices were doing something new. Letting you add convenience to ordinary tasks in a way you didn't even realize you wanted. But now all the Smart devices do the same thing - change the lights, control your TV with your voice, etc. Rachio is unique because not a lot of Smart systems want to tackle your front lawn.
Rachio adds voice control, a mobile app, and customization options to your yard. It can adapt to the weather and adjust accordingly. It can save you money on your water bill by not wasting water when it isn't needed, and because of that you might actually even be able to get a discount from your water provider just for installing it.
This system has a ton of positive reviews, including 4.5 stars and an Editor's Choice from PC Mag. More than 1,800 users on Amazon give it 4.7 stars.
Both versions come with a two-year warranty from Rachio.
