Hello,
I live in Argentina and would like to know if you have some issues regarding the Rachio clock, due to the difference voltage/Hz.
USA use 50Hz and we use 60Hz in old devices this difference make the clock work faster.
Best!
@hrnieto, thanks for reaching out. We have a handful of users in countries across the world. Many of them had to source local power adaptors/convertors that satisfied the electric requirements of the Iro, however I havenāt heard of any issues related to the clock running fast. Iād assume this is due to 1) the power adaptor limiting the voltage/Hz going into the Iro to 50Hz, and 2) the Iroās logic is clouded based ā therefore the clock in the Iro is only used if the controller looses WiFi connectivity and needs to run the backup schedule saved on the hardware.
I hope this helps. Maybe some other international users can confirm their experience using the Iro with a local power adaptors/convertors.
Iām trying to make my old house smarter, so I 'veen searching for smart devices, such as Nest, smart plugs, etc, and thats how I found Rachio.
Best,
Ricardo
I just got my Rachio 3 here in Australia, just wondering is the power supply the same for the 2 and 3. That is do the ones youāve linked to work for a Gen 3?
The power supply for the Gen2/Gen3 is the same. Do note that for the Gen3 you will want to one with a right angle since the form factor of the Gen3 is different.
Also curious how weather intelligence plus is down there. I would recommend choosing a PWS station and seeing how many options you have to choose from.
