This Prime Day Smart Home Gadget Deal Is a Game-Changer for Suburbanites

(I paid a bit more when I bought mine during Prime Day 2022.)

Here’s the backstory on why I love this thing so much.

(It’s compatible with hardwired water sensors too.)

It’s also compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, if you want to go the voice-control route.

The Rachio 3 comes in three versions: four-zone, eight-zone and 16-zone.

All three are currently discounted for Prime Big Deal Days.

There’s no subscription to worry about either – just confirm the installation site has Wi-Fi coverage.

But if you have an integrated sprinkler system, this is an easy recommendation.

Need a second opinion?

My former CNET colleague Jared DiPaneloves histoo.
