Rachio 3 smart 4-zone sprinkler controller keeps yards vibrant and lowers bills for new $99 low

$51 off/$99

Amazon is offering the Rachio 3 3rd Generation Smart 4 Zone Sprinkler Controller for $99 shipped. Down from its $150 price tag, we’ve only seen one previous discount since the new year began, a drop to the new $100 low that beat out Black Friday’s low by less than one dollar. Today’s deal comes in as a repeat of this trend, amounting to a 34% markdown off the going rate, beating our previous mention and etching out a new all-time low all within $1 of the last one in January. With this device you’ll be able to customize your sprinkler or irrigation system’s watering schedule to the specific needs of your yard and plants. Not only will your yard and gardens be vibrant and beautiful, but your water costs will shrink too. It features exclusive weather recognition technology that is programmed to automatically skip unnecessary watering during and after inclement weather, with functions like rain skip, wind skip, freeze skip, and more. It comes ready to use out of the box, with no extra charges or app subscription fees, and you’ll be able to manage everything from the convenience of your phone through the easy-to-use app.

There are a few variations of the above deal for those with larger yards or extra needs. You can increase your coverage with the 8-Zone Sprinkler Controller for $159, down from $230. There is also a 16-Zone Controller that is available for $199, down from $300. And if you want added protection for the controller boxes, there are Waterproof Outdoor Enclosures available for $33 too, down from $40. While the above sprinkler controllers do offer you simple smart controls over your sprinkler and irrigation systems, if you want to take it a step further and have complete control over your water supply as it comes from your spigot, you’ll need to pair any of them alongside the Smart Hose Timer for $78, down from $100.
