Amazon is offering the Rachio Smart Hose Timer for $64.35 shipped. Down from its usual $70 price tag, we’ve seen it steadily decrease in price since the new year began, with semi-regular discounts bringing the price down further with each new iteration. Although this is only a $6 markdown, it still lands it at the all-time lowest price we have tracked. You’ll also find this model paired with the required Wi-Fi hub for $79 shipped, down from $100. With the smart hose timer and Wi-Fi hub working in tandem, you’ll gain complete smart controls over your water supply as it comes out of your spigot, accessed from your smartphone via the Rachio app. You can monitor your water’s flow rates (or be alerted when your hose isn’t running and it should be), set schedules – plus, the timer can use Wi-Fi to watch weather forecasts and skip scheduled watering after it has already rained or before it is expected to begin. You can also pair up to four of these timers with one Wi-Fi hub for maximum coverage. Head below for more.
Rachio debuts new universal Smart Hose hub so everyone can automate lawn care and watering
Rachio – a leader is smart yard care products – is introducing its new Smart Hose Timer at CES 2023. The brand is best known for its intelligent sprinkler controller systems, most recently the Rachio Smart Irrigation Controller, as well as the smart analysis and weather tech it makes use of, but it is now delivering a similar setup to a much wider potential user base. The new Rachio Smart Hose Timer allows folks without a built-in irrigation system (or something of that nature) to leverage much of the technology and convenience the brand has been developing for years now and at a much lower price point.
