Rain falling on green leaves — Rachio's Weather Intelligence automatically skips watering before rain hits.

01 · Weather Intelligence

Don't water in the rain.

Rachio's Weather Intelligence pulls live forecasts and automatically skips watering before the first drop hits — and resumes once your soil dries out. No more sprinklers running in a downpour.

02 · Watering Science
