While its Black Friday savings event continues, Amazon offers the Rachio Smart Hose Timer with Wi-Fi Hub for $78.39 shipped. Normally running you $100 at full price, this device has largely been up and down in price since summer, with most discounts falling between $99 and $79, while also occasionally dipping lower, like the drop to the $69 low that we last saw during October’s Prime Day event. Today, thanks to the Thanksgiving savings season, you’re looking at a 22% markdown that shaves $22 off the going rate, landing the costs down at the third-lowest price we have tracked – just $9 above October’s low rate. If you already have a Wi-Fi hub and are looking to add more smart hose timers to it, you’ll find them at a discounted rate of $59, down from $70.
This packaged pair of devices from Rachio syncs together to deliver smart home controls over your outdoor water supply coming from your spigots. With the Rachio app on your smartphone, you’ll gain monitoring capabilities over flow rates while also being able to set them to schedules – plus, the devices will send you alerts whenever anything goes awry. The smart hose timer, especially, provides a bonus in its weather-watching feature that uses Wi-Fi to keep track of forecasts to skip scheduled watering before or after expected rain/storms, saving you money while also keeping your lawn from being drowned by accident. You can also pair up to four of these timers to one Wi-Fi hub for maximum coverage.
