Love the controller for my water system. The only setup challenge/difficulty I had was to figure out how to turn off my 5ghz wifi temporarily so the 2.4ghz could connect. After that, I turned it back on, and no problems since. Intuitive user interface. Two years ago I had another brand and it was always dropping it's wifi connection. Super happy I switched to Rachio.

I can't believe I didn't switch to the rachio controller sooner. Given that, I think there needs to be some improvements for some options like the soil moisture fill and empty buttons. I pressed it by accident. 1. Should have a confirmation if that's what you want to do. 2. Should be a way to go back to the status it was at originally in case you accidentally pressed one of those buttons 3. Should be a way for you to fine tune the moisture percentage level.

Very far from perfect. Interface requires way too many selections to get to where you want to go. Weather forecast is skewed too heavily on saving water, except lately the sprinklers have come on when it's raining and the forecast is rain all day even after changing station types. Customized settings are way to complicated - it's a sprinkler not a moon landing! Integration with Google Home is practically non-existant - off and on is all you get, and that's ONLY for zone 1, nothing for other zone
