Which Rachio devices work with my smart home?

Rachio devices by how they connect.

The 5 devices include sprinkler controllers, flow meters and valve controllers. Each one below lists its path (Matter, Thread, Zigbee, Wi-Fi or another) and what that path needs.

Rachio makes the Rachio 3 sprinkler controller, the Smart Hose Timer and the Smart Lighting Controller for low-voltage outdoor lighting. Its store also sells the EveryDrop Flow Meter and the Tempest Weather System from WeatherFlow.[1]

Rachio's sprinkler controllers and hose timer work through the Rachio app and a Rachio account, with Alexa and Google listed. The Smart Lighting Controller uses Matter over Wi-Fi.[2][3]

Rain Bird Corporation announced its acquisition of Rachio on 2025-10-01. Rachio is a wholly owned subsidiary of Rain Bird and operates as its own division under co-founder and CEO Chris Klein. Rachio says day-to-day use stays the same for now and that the Rachio app remains the Rachio app.[4][5]
