Installing Rachio is quite easy if you follow our tutorial video, and programming Rachio 3 is very easy to implement and self-explanatory. This rachio 3 outdoor installation requires the Rachio Outdoor Enclosure to protect the Rachio 3 home kit, as the Rachio 3 sprinkler WiFi controller itself is designed for indoor use only.

Make sure you have the Rachio outdoor enclosure for the Rachio 3 WiFi sprinkler controller before installing. Additionally, this Rachio 3 outdoor enclosure can also be used with the second generation Rachio 2 controllers.

The Rachio 3 outdoor enclosure is rugged and weatherproof, with a black gasket around the enclosure door to prevent water from entering. For this Rachio 3 outdoor enclosure installation guide, we demonstrate the installation of this sprinkler controller enclosure on a concrete wall using Tapcon screws.
