Put control of your sprinkler system in the palm of your hand with a Smart Irrigation WiFi Timer from Rain Bird. And an excellent web portal lets you tinker with your system’s settings from the comfort of a larger screen.ST8 2.0, 8-Zone Smart Irrigation WiFi Sprinkler Timer The Yard Map feature allows you to draw virtual boundaries for each zone in your yard and to specify how many sprinkler heads are in it and where, which Rachio says improves water-usage reporting. An informative water-usage screen shows you an estimate of how much water the system applied to each zone both monthly and daily. You can also set an optional delay between zones (say, to allow a well to refill), select a different weather station, or connect to a personal weather station, such as a Netatmo. In addition, you can share access through the app, with or without time restrictions, so a landscaper can maintain the system via their smartphone without your having to be there. The app also tells you when it’s offline, which is key because with a device that’s so easy to set and forget, if it happens to lose power, you might not know until your garden suffers damage. The app sends timely and consistent notifications to your smartphone and email, the most useful being a warning that the sprinklers are about to turn on, sent a few seconds before they do this alert saved us from unexpectedly soaking some guests. We’ve observed several instances when other controllers set rain delays due to forecasted events that didn’t actually happen, and in every case the Rachio 3 wasn’t similarly fooled by the meteorologist. In our long-term testing this accuracy has continued to make the Rachio 3 the most effective controller we’ve tested. (Costco offers a 12-zone Rachio 3 model it’s a Costco exclusive, and it’s the same as the standard Rachio 3 in all respects other than the number of zones covered.) Its Weather Intelligence Plus (WIP) service produces a hyperlocal forecast based on local weather reports, satellite, radar, and atmospheric flight data, as well as other climate sources, and in our testing it proved to be very effective for instance, the Rachio 3 accurately predicted that it would not rain in our test garden on a day that the software for every other controller said it would. Available in four-, eight-, and 16-zone versions, the WaterSense-certified Rachio 3 is our top pick because it was the most accurate controller in our testing.
