Smart home devices aren’t just for inside your home. Smart sprinkler systems are useful, but they can be expensive and difficult to install. The Rachio Smart Hose Timer is a simpler solution to smart lawn care.
Rachio is a company that makes connected devices focused on lawn care. The Rachio 3 16-zone controller is our top pick for the best smart sprinkler controllers, and the recently announced smart hose timer looks like a nice addition to its lineup. So what is it?
The Rachio Smart Hose Timer is essentially a device that turns any old sprinkler you would connect to a garden hose into a “smart” sprinkler. The device connects to a faucet and garden hose, allowing you to control the flow of water. You can use the Rachio app to turn it on/off, create schedules, and set a timer for how long it stays on.
Think of it as a smart plug for your hose and sprinkler. Instead of buying a smart sprinkler, you can simply connect the Rachio Smart Hose Timer to the equipment you already own. Plus, it has built-in “Weather Intelligence,” which can automatically adjust watering schedules based on the weather and seasons.
The Rachio Smart Hose Timer will be available in March 2023 for $99 and comes with everything you need to get connected, including Wi-Fi hub.
