The Best Apple HomeKit-Compatible Products For Medium-Size Homes

Forbes Senior Contributor Anthony Karcz lists Rachio’s Gen 3 Sprinkler Controller as one of the best Apple HomeKit-Compatible products for medium-size homes. According to Mr. Karcz:

Rachio takes the guesswork out of keeping a healthy lawn. The Rachio sprinkler controller is minimalist, attractive and eminently practical if you have some grass around your home. Think “Nest, but for lawns” and you’re on the right track. The real magic of the system is in the app. There are no timers or places to make schedules on the hardware itself. You can run the system manually from the controller, but you’d be missing the point if that’s all you did. Once Rachio is online, it gathers real-time hyper-local weather data for your residence. After you tell it about the zones that it’s going to be watering (the device I tested can control up to 16 zones), it determines how often it needs to water, taking scheduling out of your hands altogether.
