Rachio 3 HomeKit smart sprinkler controllers fall to new lows from $142.50 for Prime Day

Today only, as part of its Prime Day Deals, Amazon is offering Rachio 3 smart sprinkler controllers from *$142.50 shipped*. Our favorite is the 16-zone HomeKit-enabled Sprinkler Controller for *$170.09*. You’d normally pay $210 or more, with our last mention being $179 and today’s deal marking a new all-time low that we’ve tracked. If you have a sprinkler system that runs rain or shine, then Rachio claims that you can save “up to 30-50% on your monthly water bill” by using its controller. How does it accomplish this? Well, there’s built-in weather intelligence that can automatically skip watering after rain, wind, freezes, or other events. Alongside this, there’s also an app that allows you to tell your sprinklers to run, and it even works with Alexa, Assistant, and HomeKit for voice commands. Rated 4.7/5 stars. If you don’t need 16 zones, then the 8-zone controller can be picked up for *$142.50 *today, as well.
