Rachio 2.0 Is Out

We are very excited to announce that version 2.0 of the Rachio app on both iOS and Android are released. Go get them!

The team has been working on the features, upgrades, and visual changes in the app for a long time, and we cannot wait for you to try it out.

There are a few features in particular that we would like to highlight:

Flex Schedules

With Flex Schedules, Rachio Iro uses the latest in academic, peer-reviewed irrigation research to create and dynamically update the perfect irrigation schedule you. Flex uses an irrigation technique called Management Allowable Depletion (MAD) that can even further reduce your water usage while promoting a healthy and drought resistant landscape. Flex waters your lawn less frequently but more deeply, encouraging plants to build stronger root structures.

Rachio incorporates this new technique and combines it with all the smart weather information you are already familiar with.

For more info, check out our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) article on Flex.

New Activity Feed

The new awesome activity screen is a single place where you can quickly see all the events related to your irrigation system.

For more info, check out this article on the new activity feed.

Preferred Weather Stations

Choose any local or personal weather station to ensure your Iro has the most accurate weather data available. The app has a quick, visual, and easy way to see where your weather station is relative to your Iro.

For more info, check out this article on picking a weather station.

New Dashboard

The new dashboard puts everything you need to know in one place. Monitor your Rachio Iro's status, schedule changes, watering zones, and more.
