Rachio Smart Hose Timer Bundle — 2 Valves + 1 WiFi Hub, app-controlled with flow monitoring

The Rachio Smart Hose Timer Bundle replaces old dial timers with app-managed hose valves and a WiFi Hub for precise, automated watering from anywhere.

Stop turning a plastic dial and start managing your hose watering from your phone. This bundle includes two Rachio smart timer valves plus a WiFi Hub so you can build schedules, run instant water sessions, and receive alerts about flow and battery status. Designed to pair up to eight valves per hub, the kit scales with your yard and integrates with popular smart-home systems for voice or automation control.

How do I control my hoses and set schedules?

You control each valve from the Rachio mobile app or by pressing the valve's built-in quick-run button. The app guides you through setup and lets you create flexible schedules with start times, run durations, and repeat frequencies. Schedules can be adjusted anytime from anywhere when your hub connects to 2.4 GHz WiFi.

• Create automatic watering routines for different zones and addresses
• Start or stop a manual watering session from the app or the valve button
• Pair up to eight valves to one WiFi Hub to centralize control

What smart features help save water and avoid surprises?

Built-in Rain Skips prevent scheduled runs when rain is forecast, reducing unnecessary watering. Flow monitoring watches for unexpected use or leaks and sends alerts, while low-battery notifications let you replace two AA batteries before a valve stops operating. These features provide practical water savings and maintenance reminders without constant supervision.

• Automatic Rain Skips based on local weather forecasts
• Flow monitoring alerts for leaks or broken hoses
• Low-battery push notifications to keep valves reliable

How hard is installation and what does the kit include?

Installation takes just minutes: attach valves to standard faucets, insert two AA batteries per valve, plug in the WiFi Hub to your home network, and follow the app prompts. The bundle ships with two smart valves and one WiFi Hub; batteries are not included. The hub requires a 2.4 GHz WiFi connection for cloud features and remote control.

• Two timer valves and one WiFi Hub included in the bundle
• Battery-powered valves (2× AA each) for simple, tool-free setup
• Hub requires 2.4 GHz WiFi and plugs into home router power

Will this work with my smart home setup and expand later?

The Rachio system supports common smart-home platforms like Alexa, Google Assistant, and IFTTT, enabling voice and automation control. If you need more coverage, add additional Rachio valves—each hub supports up to eight valves—so expansion is straightforward without adding more hubs.

• Integrates with Alexa, Google Home, and IFTTT
• Scale up to eight valves per WiFi Hub for larger yards
• App-based controls plus manual button for local use

Who is this for? This bundle is ideal for homeowners, renters with outdoor faucets, and anyone who waters container gardens, vegetable beds, or lawn areas by hose and wants smarter control. It's especially useful for people who want to save water, avoid midday watering mistakes, or centralize multiple hose locations under a single app and hub. If you need simple installation, remote control, and scalable expansion without rewiring or plumbing changes, this Rachio Smart Hose Timer Bundle offers a modern replacement for unreliable dial timers.
