Rachio 3 Not Responding in Homekit (Again)

The WiFi Issue may run deeper than just those with Mesh Networks. My neighbor (a software engineer for a Govt. Contractor) just purchased a Rachio and could not get it to connect to his Asus Router, so he returned it and bought the Orbit.

I have had to use various iOS devices to get the Rachio to connect to my network after multiple failures using my phone. Eventually I had to use my daughter’s old iPhone SE to get it to connect.

That sounds like a different issue. I’ve got an Asus Router as well (RT-AC68U, just the single unit, no mesh or anything) and I haven’t had any issues getting it to connect to my WiFi. The issues we’re discussing in this thread is pretty specific about the Rachio 3 not connecting to Apple HomeKit
