What is the Rachio 3 Smart Water system?
This rachio smart sprinkler controller is a 3rd generation smart water system that integrates with other home automation systems like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit.

Rachio 3 setup

Rachio installation is pretty simple if you follow our how to video, and Rachio 3 programming is very easy to implement, and self explanatory. This rachio 3 outdoor installation requires the Rachio Outdoor Enclosure to protect the Rachio 3 homekit, as the Rachio 3 sprinkler WiFi controller by itself is made for interior use only.

Be sure you have the Rachio outdoor enclosure for Rachio 3 WiFi sprinkler controller before installing. Also, this rachio 3 outdoor enclosure installation can also be used with the Rachio 2 second generation controllers.

The Rachio 3 outdoor enclosure is rugged and weatherproof, with a black gasket around the enclosure door to prevent water from entering. For this Rachio 3 outdoor enclosure installation guide we demonstrate installing this sprinkler controller housing on a concrete wall with Tapcon screws.

We hope you enjoyed this Rachio 3 review and smart sprinkler controller installation guide, thanks for watching.
