When I originally installed these devices they worked beautifully. I had two of them in different states and I was able to manage my irrigation systems from anywhere. Once they disabled free remote access, that was a problem. I did find a workaround. Not for difficult for a novice but you can still access them remotely if you know how to do port forwarding on your router. Both of mine are now again remotely accessible.

Poorly written app that has had constant connection issues for years now. I have mesh network both inside and outside so it's not an issue with the app switching over to cellular signal. Often times just the act of the phone locking is enough to lose connection which is then impossible to reconnect. App restarts don't seem to help. The myriad of terrible reviews say it all. This used to be a good app/system but no longer. If you're considering buying this sprinkler controller...don't.

Constant Premium Ad Issue! The app will work for a couple weeks then I will get blocked from using any of it, because of the premium ad tries to force you to buy it! If you don't buy, there's no way around it. Clearly Rain machine doesn't care based off their responses to others about the issue. I'm at home on the same connection as our irrigation, I've restarted the app, cleared cache, checked device, signed in&out, etc. Useless! *That's the issue I cannot access my sprinklers on the same wifi

Hi. We are sorry about that. You can still access your device locally when you are connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your RainMachine device, and remotely without subscription. Please
