I have a zone that is under cover and never gets rain. Does the Rachio 3 allow for one zone to run regardless of rain while other zones don't?

Despite the answers above, the answer is YES. You can create a separate schedule just for the zone you desire and make it a fixed schedule. You can turn off all the features and that will make it run even if it’s raining or windy or whatever. Than create schedules for the rest of the zones with all the weather features you like.

Does this have a setting for a delay between zones? The controller i'm replacing does not have this delay,it switches between zones fast, hammers pipe

Yes, at least with my gen 3, a feature to reduce water hammer will turn on the next zone 10 seconds early allowing no abrupt stop at the end of a zone run. Excerpt from Rachio help: What is Rachio's "Minimize Water Hammer" setting? With this setting, your Rachio Smart Sprinkler Controller will open the 'next' scheduled zone to run in a watering schedule, 10 seconds prior to the end time of the current zone that is running.

Can it be hard wired from the modem/router with cat5 or 6? no wifi where it would be installed. does it have an ethernet data port?

No data port — BUT, it works on both 2.4 and 5Ghz bands of wifi. Works very well and connected very easily. Access point is through a wall about 25 feet away.

Can each valve be set up as it's own zone with independent start times and durations?

You have to understand that each zone needs to have it’s own solenoid in order to control zones separately. Some homes use an index valve system, and you switch zones by turning off and on, and the water pressure turns the index valve to the next zone. That won’t work with Rachio or any of these kind of systems. You will need to remove the index valve, and rearrange each of the pvc pipes that connected to it. That can be accomplished with a days effort, but you’ll need pvc fittings, a pvc cutter and pvc cement, and a solenoid for each zone you have. Each solenoid has two wires, so you’ll also need sprinkler cable with two conductors for each zone. So for a 5 zone system, your cable needs 10 conductors.

Great outdoor enclosure for my Rachio controller

This enclosure works great for keeping my Rachio sprinkler controller protected outdoors. The fit is clean and secure, and it feels sturdy enough for regular outdoor use. Installation was straightforward, and I like that it gives the controller a neat, finished look instead of leaving the wiring and unit exposed. It is also a good match for the Rachio controller design, so everything looks like it belongs together. Overall, this is a practical and well-made enclosure if you need to install your sprinkler controller outside.

Perfect companion for the Rachio controller

I picked up this Weatherproof Outdoor Enclosure to protect my Rachio Smart Sprinkler Controller that I have mounted outside. It was very easy to install and feels sturdy enough to handle the elements. It fits the controller perfectly and keeps everything clean and protected from the weather. If you're installing your unit outdoors, this enclosure is definitely worth the investment for the extra peace of mind.

Easy to install just decide on what kind of power cord length you want

I ordered this weather proof box and a separate 3 foot power cord. You have to order your own power cord. I also decided to use WAGO 221-2411 Wire Connectors to connect the power cord to the socket. I ordered a 3 foot power cord for my setup

Great irrigation system!!

One of the best purchases I’ve made! Overstatement? Maybe. It’s wonderful. Does seasonal adjustments and suspends watering when it rains. Easy installation. You should get one. Even if you don’t have a garden or lawn!!!

Needs hard wiring.

This box is a great way to put your Ranchio 3 outside, has its own plug for power, and incases everything.

Ships to Australia with US power socket :-/

Shipped to Australia but with a US power socket, which is kinda annoying. Also went on special a couple of days after I paid $AUD70 for it. Otherwise it seems ok.

Suits US plug not an AU plug

I can't leave less than one star. Item contains an US socket and yet, the Rachio system i bought, from the the same place, has the Australian plug. Unfortunately, i didn't receive a response from an enquiry i sent the supplier.
