I installed a Rachio Iro I got from Amazon to replace an existing Honeywell…
I went through the process to add a device on the Rachio app on an iPad mini and, after blink programming, the Iro has a slowly flashing on/off green Wifi LED. I checked my DHCP server and I see that there is a new device with an IP assigned, so it appears to me that the Iro connected successfully to Wifi.
Unfortunately, the app on the iPad fails to communicate with the Iro… Always tells me Blink Failed and makes me start over. I’ve been through the process a dozzen times and tried power cycling the Iro, but it doesn’t seem to work.
I don’t filter MAC addresses… I searched for ports and found a post mentioned Rachio uses 8883, so I setup a static IP mapping in the DHCP server for the Iro’s MAC. Also configured the router to forward port 8883 to the static IP for the Rachio.
Did blink programming again (after power cycle of Iro) and still doesn’t work.
