Rachio is a Denver-based company focused on smart home technology for residential irrigation control. They were founded in 2013 and are now expanding into landscape lighting control with a new product, the Rachio Smart Lighting Controller.

While specific details are still emerging, the Rachio Smart Lighting Controller is expected to be available in July and is designed to bring sophisticated lighting control to users through the Rachio app.

Expected features and benefits include:

  • Zoned Lighting Control: Each Rachio Smart Lighting Controller will be capable of controlling 200 watts of lights in three zones. Multiple controllers can be added to the Rachio app and zones can span multiple controllers.
  • Smart Scheduling: Just like their sprinkler controllers, the Smart Lighting Controller will support intelligent scheduling capabilities including the ability to schedule events based on sunrise/sunset.
  • Dimming Capabilities: The Smart Lighting Controller will support the ability to dim outside lights to enhance ambiance and support energy savings.
  • App Integration: Setup and operation of the Smart Lighting Controller will be accomplished using the same Rachio app user experience that homeowners are already familiar with. This will minimize the learning curve for existing Rachio customers.
  • Smart Home Integration: Rachio has announced that their Smart Lighting Controller will be the first to support the new Matter smart home standard. This is a significant development that promises seamless interoperability with a wide range of smart home devices and platforms.
  • Energy Efficiency: Through scheduling and dimming of outdoor lighting, energy consumption can be reduced and the impact of outdoor lighting on utility bills minimized.
  • Enhanced Security: Well-placed and intelligently controlled outdoor lighting can be a significant deterrent to unwanted activity, adding an extra layer of security to a home.
  • No Subscription Required: No added fees for operation

The Smart Lighting Controller is a natural extension of Rachio’s existing product line, which includes smart sprinkler controllers and hose timers. This move signals Rachio’s commitment to providing comprehensive smart solutions for the entire outdoor space of a home.
