Hi there! I see you'd like to disable or cancel the moisture sensor on your Rachio system. To make sure I guide you properly, could you please tell me if you want to disable the moisture sensor for a specific irrigation zone, or are you looking to turn off the sensor completely for the entire controller?

Also, are you referring specifically to a moisture sensor (soil sensor) or a rain sensor? This will help me give you the exact steps on your iPhone with iOS 18.5.

Once I have those details, I can walk you through the process!

Turn off soil moisture all zones

Thanks for clarifying that you want to turn off the soil moisture setting for all zones on your Rachio system. Here’s how you can do that step-by-step on your iPhone with iOS 18.5:

1. Open the Rachio app on your iPhone.
2. Tap the “Zones” tab at the bottom to see your list of zones.
3. Select the first zone you want to adjust.
4. Tap “Edit” in the upper right corner.
5. Scroll down and tap “Advanced.”
6. Look for the soil moisture setting (sometimes called Allowed Depletion or moisture level).
7. You’ll want to disable the moisture sensor influence on this zone by either toggling off soil moisture or setting the moisture level so it effectively doesn’t limit watering.
8. Save your changes.
9. Repeat these steps for each zone individually since there isn’t a global "turn off soil moisture" switch for all zones at once.

Disabling the soil moisture setting in each zone’s advanced options will stop the system from adjusting watering based on soil moisture data for all zones.

If you’d like, I can guide you through looking at one zone’s settings right now. Would that help? Or have you tried adjusting individual zones already?
