Rachio automatically backs off the next scheduled watering if the weather cools down. So I water much more frequently in a heat wave, over water even, to keep the Avocado’s healthy and keep the fruit on them. Then I have an IFTTT applet that looks at my Ambient Weather Station and if the temperature goes over 105 degrees, it tells Rachio to water the Avocado’s again.Įven though I have the Avocado’s on a Flex Monthly, if I am slow to react to a heat wave, the Avocado’s may suffer and drop their fruit, even if they have not met their allowed depletion in Rachio yet. I have an applet that looks at the WU forecast and if it is supposed to be over 100 degrees, IFTTT tells Rachio to water the Avocado zone preemptively. In fact I have IFTTT applets that use all three. I use an Ambient Weather WS-1550-IP and it works with Rachio, with Weather Underground and with IFTTT.
In addition to working with Weather Underground, it may be nice to get one that also works with IFTTT, as Rachio does.
