You can even create a smart schedule based on your mix of soil, the plant types, and the sun exposure. This will give you the perfect amount of watering without overdoing it or leaving your lawn thirsty for more.
You can control the Rachio 3e from anywhere, too, when you download the free app and connect the controller to your network. Use the app to run your sprinklers, view the schedule, and observe your estimated outdoor water use.
