Hi there! I understand the weather feature in the Rachio app is stopping your sprinklers, and you want to turn that off. Let me help you with that.

To disable the weather-related skips like rain or freeze skip, you can follow these steps on your iPhone with iOS 18.5:

1. Open the Rachio app on your iPhone.
2. Tap the “Schedules” tab at the bottom right corner.
3. Select the specific watering schedule you want to adjust.
4. Scroll down and tap “Weather Intelligence.”
5. Here, you’ll find options to enable or disable various skips like rain skip, freeze skip, or saturation skip.
6. Toggle off the features you want to disable by unchecking or turning off the corresponding check marks.

After this, your sprinklers should run regardless of the weather conditions that were previously causing the skips.

Would you like me to walk you through this while you're in the app, or is there a particular skip (rain, freeze, saturation) you're seeing causing the issue?

Manual run sprinkler

Hi! I see you want to manually run your sprinkler system using the Rachio app on your iPhone. I can guide you through that quickly.

Here’s how to manually start watering a zone or multiple zones:

1. Open the Rachio app on your iPhone.
2. Tap on the "Zones" tab at the bottom of the screen.
3. Find the zone you want to water and tap on it.
4. You should see an option to "Run" or a play button—tap that to start watering that zone immediately.
5. You can specify how long you want it to run and confirm.

Alternatively, if you want to run a Quick Run for multiple zones or a schedule:
- Tap on the "Schedules" tab.
- Select “Quick Run.”
- Choose the zones and duration, then start the watering.

This approach lets you override your automated schedules for instant manual watering.

If you want to manually run zones directly from the Rachio controller itself (not the app), you press the Arrow buttons to select the zone and then press the Select button to start and stop watering1 2.
