What’s New
New Schedule Creation and Edit. The biggest update is that we simplified how you create, edit, and review schedules. You can now view your watering schedule on a month-by-month basis to understand when watering will happen.Climate Skip. Watering times will be skipped based on past and future weather conditions, so you can save even more water and make every gallon count.
Freeze Skip. You can now set a custom temperature to activate a Freeze Skip.
Seasonal Shift. Schedule durations will be adjusted each month based on local weather data to make sure your yard is getting the right amount of water.
Start and End Dates. You can now schedule start and end dates for individual schedules. This can be used to set up schedules for specific needs like new grass seed.
Flex Schedules Coming Out Of Beta
This update merges our existing schedule types, Fixed and Flex, into one simple but powerful schedule. Flex schedules will be retired and removed from beta, but will be accessible for the remainder of the watering season for existing users. This means new Flex schedules will not be able to be created in 2.5 and beyond. Don’t worry Flex fans, we’ll continue to support Flex Schedules until the end of the year, so you have plenty of time to switch over. Flex schedules will not be forgotten!Thank you to all the Flex beta users - we learned a lot from the beta. Many of the best parts of Flex schedules are now features that you can enable or disable for any schedule. For example, Climate Skip and Seasonal Shift are direct descendants of Flex schedules.
New Scheduling Options
Our new schedule has three modes to set up watering times: As Needed, Interval, and Specific Days. If you want Rachio to determine your schedule, use As Needed. Use Interval or Specific Days if you have a preferred schedule or restrictions.If you would like to learn more about these changes, please read about it on the 2.5 app release support article.
Thank you!
