Best Rachio install video I've seen ! Jeff doesn't zoom though or skip sections. He goes through each section meticulously. Great job!

Hands down, BEST video ! Well done, covers everything and to the point ! Thank you!

I just bought the Rachio 3 from Costco and the weatherproof box from Amazon. I'm going to install it this weekend. Thank you for the video.

Great job explaining how this works! I just had this installed and couldn’t figure out how to program it after I did the initial setup. Thank you so much! You should write manuals for a living!! You walked us through it in a way that is so easy to understand, clear and concise instructions! You are an amazing teacher!

Just ordered one of these, (4 zone) Can't wait to get it set up. Thank's for the great video. It helps me to know what to expect.

I am going to replace my Rainbird controller with a Rachio 3 controller, i love all the features you have described in your video. We bought a new house that has a sprinkler system, and it seems cumbersome to figure it out, whereas the Rachio is pretty straight forward. Plus the twelve zone model is on sale at Costco for $149.95 To prevent water from entering into the controller, you should have ran a bead of silicone on the top and sides, and leave the bottom open for drainage.

Thanks for detailed video! I have installed one also outside and am learning how to use all of its features.

Excellent video. I’m putting in a new sprinkler system this control seems to be the right choice. App looks well done. Thanks

Awesome awesome awesome video Jeff! I also want to thank you for all your hard work you’ve been doing especially these last couple of weeks with the deals! Because of all your hard work you save all your viewers lots of money and I deeply appreciate it! I hope you have the best day/week ever! Bob Bates

Great system I have been using this for 2 years now.

I DID IT!! thank you so much for the video, it was very helpful. The whole process I would say was technically simple, but it took WAY more than 20 minutes for me! I had an old Orbit that I just could never get the hang of working it, plus it was installed in a very awkward spot. I have outside unit, so I ordered the enclosure. The install there was a little tricky for me (stucco, broke a drill bit, but I did finally find the correct drill bit to use). I thought I would hard-wire it, but it turned out it was not set up for that. I took the opportunity to relocate the unit to a more convenient spot, and since the wires coming out of the ground were looking raggedy (and the wire would now be too short), I switched out a longer length of wire from the ground to the unit, making sure to match up all the colors. The set up was way simple, that took no effort, but your video did give me the confidence to try this myself. My neighbor will be upset I didn't wait for him to do it, but I'm sure he'll be over to 'check' my work anyway :). The unit powered up beautifully, I had no errors. Im going to need to work with the schedule to see what works well for me. The system came up with a 45 minute watering schedule, and 3.5 hours on my drip line. That's way too much, even for summer in Southern CA. But I love that I can just go to my phone and turn things on. Thank you again, I will probably need to check out your other videos for around the house!

Oh Mate! I have followed you for quite some time, but you just became my "go to" guy! I loved Disneyland as a kid, but I am not so keen on the "Disneyland version" of 2 min videos from big box stores. OMG a video chronology of this video, so I can "jump to" where I am having issue. Well done!

Solid video. Big thanks from Cairns Australia!

built in the USA. I still bought it.

Great video! Helped a lot.

Nice system - thanks for another great instructional how to!

Nice video. Thanks for all the details. About to purchase one.

just watched your vid.... fyi golf courses have there own water storage ponds that they draw from for irrigation. ( at least in my part of the planet) We can put up to 500 000 gal of water out a night. So to pay for that from a municipality... yikes!

it is a good sale because i purchase a Makita saw 10" i have to return it because it drain 4 batteries in a half hour. this Dewalt chain saw one battery last me close to an hour. i'll try my Lowe's discount card in some other DEPOT store. ok JEFF u have a nice day take care. stay safe.

Nice work but you never turn On the breaker on the main breaker box panel.

great video..

I bursted into laughter when you pulled out that Milwaukee vac. I hope they are sponsoring you. That was totally unnecessary. Like turning the panel upside down and tapping out those plastic pieces was not an option. I know...lets pull out our Milwaukee power vac...who has time to turn something over. Ahahahahah Just busting your b--lz a bit All in fun man. You helped me out on this. Thanks

Does this sprinkler system have a pump I didn't see one

Great video. Btw, you sound a lot like Charlie Sheen.

Are you using a well and pump or city water? Thanks!

I don't see the chapter time stamps you talked about at the begining. It's not those bars on the time line is it?

Hey I know you're a busy man but you definitely know what deals are best right now looking at buying my father a new impact drill and drive drill and I can't really figure out which is the best deal right now. Sure atomic but I don't want to buy my dad anything atomic. I did see the 998 flex volt with an impact driver as well but that's $300. trying to figure out what might be the best $199 deal to get a free tool.... this way I get a little something out of the deal too I know some of these deals seem great but then you realize they have the crappy as batteries available

Great video, thanks! Question : the unit has a place to hook up the old rain sensor automated shut off device as a supplement to the weather reports. Should I add it as a fail safe, since I am not in this house during the summer?

Outstanding video where i can buy the exterior BOX ?

The old box would've been perfectly fine to house the new sprinkler controller including space for the transformer.

Hey Jeff, Thanks for the great video explanation. One qq, how does the outdoor enclosure stood up to rain? Did water leaked into the enclosure ever?

Are you worried about water ingress from the back of the weather enclosure with the hole you hade to make?

Newbie here... doesn’t the common go with the “C” slot?? Thanks

my lg fridge broke again for the second time. the compressor broke the first time now it broke again.

Can you install mine? I live in Pembroke Pines? How much?

Hey Jeff please explain better how to apply for Lowe’s coupon for Home Depot and the reason why Lowe’s do that ( competition or what) Why why why haha have a great day boss

hi JEFF how u doing? JEFF i purchase @ EBAY a pack of 10% Lowe's discount cards ,i use one of them for a chain saw i purchase @ HOME DEPOT it didn't went through. it was a DEWALT CHAIN SAW. maybe because it was on sale from $199.00 to $99.00? maybe that home depot store didn't accept it or i hope i didn't purchase them from a bad vendor LOL i hope it works in a other depot store. who knows. ok see u later on another video. take care. be bless

@jeffostroff what do you think about ridgid wet table saw for $99 @ HD

The only difference I would of done was to put some kind of caulking or sealer coming out of your metal conduit coming from the garage cause water will seep in ..

Rachio was running fine until they did a software upgrade . Beicked my system . Ruined my lawn for the season . I didnt notice the lawn wasnt being water until it started drying out . Rachio claims it happens with certain operating systems . THE ENTIRE UNIT IS A PAPER WEIGHT

why not show what commands to use to get it to connect to wifi???? thats my main issue
