You know what. There are multiple pws stations much closer to your home within 1 mile. If the nearest one in rachio says 3+ miles away, it means some of these pws needs to be manually added to rachio database for the rachio 2.
-
Download the weather underground app for your phone.
-
Browse for a pws near your home. Get its station ID number.
-
Request that pws to be registered in rachio in this thread: Adding WUnderground Station to Rachio with Gen 2
-
Wait within a day or two and you should be able to select that pws in your rachio app.
-
If I were you, I’d request to add multiple pws near your home to that thread I pasted above.
