I just got the hardware today (check for local rebates - I got $100 from my town) and hooked it up lickity-split. Syncing with my Nest required Firefox (only complaint, but easy work around) and tomorrow I call my homeowners insurance and see what theyll take off. They took off $200 when I got my Nest Protect, and with Rachio synced to my Nest, if the fire alarm goes off, my sprinklers start cycling to dampen the spread of fire (or burnt toast).
So whats so cool about this app? I can take a picture of each of my zones, name them, set different times for scheduled and manual watering, and its so simple. Do I need to do all the renaming and whatnot? No. But when I hand my phone to my daughter and ask her to water the garden, theres no confusion. I like that! Ill be adding sensors later for the soil, so eventually I can just enjoy my yard and garden and never worry about watering it!
