Troubleshooting Wiring

Just to save a small possibility of debugging, I would suggest running each zone before making the change to make sure they are all working ahead of time.

Below is what I see in the pictures. I personally think it will be a pretty easy switch, but I have helped many people with them.

  1. First picture:
    1. SEN: Part of a sensor, probably rain.
    2. SEN: Another part, not sure if any others
    3. REM: Hunter remote, do not connect anywhere on Rachio. Rachio’s remote is your phone app
    4. AC2: Power to Hunter, do not connect anywhere on Rachio. Use Rachio’s supplied power supply.
      1. The white wire is part of REM, see REM
    5. AC1: see AC2
      1. The red wire is part of REM, see REM
    6. GND: see AC2
  2. Second picture:
    1. Zones 6-1: Directly to 6 - 1 on Rachio
    2. P/MV: Pump / Master Valve. Does not look like you have one
    3. COM: Zone common wire directly to C on Rachio

For now, I would first get the zones working and consider the rain sensor later. It seems to me that many end up not using the sensor.
