Tips for use
It is not possible to interact with a zone or schedule while watering. Tap Stop Watering before making changes.
To water zones that are not in a schedule, tap Water All Zones and deselect zones as desired.
Schedule names are visible in the Alarm.com app, but the zones and duration are only available in the Rachio app. Use the Rachio app to give each schedule a descriptive name for easy reference from the Alarm.com app.
When adding Rachio and Rain Bird systems to the same account, Rachio must be added first.
To change zone names, use the devices page on the Customer Website.
