All over Denver Christopher Klein and his fellow co-founders at Rachio noticed something disturbing: sprinklers going off in the rain. Putting sprinklers on a timer is always going to produce wasted water, but they didn’t feel it had to be that way.
They hashed out their idea at Denver Startup Weekend in 2012. They decided to build a smart system that can adapt to different weather conditions and lawn-owner needs, with the controls accessible via a smartphone.
“There are times where we want to be a part of our yard and we want to control it, and there are months where we just don’t have time,” Klein said. The Rachio system is meant to adapt to both.
