Actually, I agree with you! The program is relatively easy to understand and is reliable. Unfortunately, I just learned that Rachio will NO LONGER support the web-based application; jut the mobile app. I’m afraid this is a mistake, at least for me! I think it is quite short-sighted!
Requiring each person in a household to install the app in order to operate the system is unnecessary, as well as wasteful! If I am away or out of town, my wife or children MUST install the phone app! If our gardeners come and I’m away, they can only shut the entire system down (likely they will just unplug it).
Bad idea dropping the Web-App.
