The second-generation 8-zone Rachio Smart Sprinkler Controller is down to $89.99 at Woot today only. That's almost $50 off its current price at Amazon right now and the lowest we've ever seen it go. It's offered in new condition but is delivered in non-retail packaging which is the main reason why it has such a steep discount. It retains the 2-year Rachio warranty, though, and let's face it, you're not going to care about the packaging as soon as you have this thing open.

Rachio adds voice control, a mobile app, and customization options to your yard. The biggest benefit to the Rachio system is the smarts of it, not the fact that it can simply turn your sprinklers on and off for you. It uses local weather forecasts to help you avoid watering your yard while it's raining, and you can set rain thresholds so it will skip watering if there has been enough, or is enough rain predicted for the near future. You can also start a quick run right from your phone, or even an Alexa-enabled device like the Echo Dot if you want some extra watering on a certain part of your yard.
This ModernDad video shows you just how easy it is to set up and use this system, and you can check out the heaps of positive customer reviews at Amazon to find out what existing owners have to say about it. With an average rating of 4.6 stars out of 5 based on almost 3,000 reviews, it's unlikely you're going to regret your purchase.
