Now Rachio has release its [Generation 2 controller](https://www.ewingirrigation.com/16-sta-rachio-2nd-gen-cntrl.html), with more features and benefits: **Expanded Capabilities: **Rachio Gen 2 supports up to 16 zones and two sensors. **On Board Controls: **Now it’s possible to install Rachio on new builds or when Wi-Fi isn’t available. Run zones or set up a temporary schedule right from the controller. **Easier Wiring + Testing: **A roomier wiring bay makes installation easier, and the new single plate design allows for voltage testing. **Easier Setup: **No longer requires “blinkup.” Clients can easily connect a Rachio controller to Wi-Fi using the Rachio App on their iPhone, Android or iPad. **New Outdoor Enclosure: **Mount the Rachio controller outdoors using the new [outdoor enclosure](https://www.ewingirrigation.com/2nd-gen-rachio-outdoor-encl.html) for weatherproof protection, sold separately. **More Rachio Advantages** **Landscaper Access: Manage all your clients’ Rachio controllers from your own account. **Once Rachio has been set up on a client’s device, they can share access with you using your email address, so you’ll never have to ask for your clients’ passwords. **Extended Warranty: Extended warranty with pro install.** Rachio is now offering an additional two years of warranty (for a total of four years) on any product installed by a professional. This offer is only on product purchased from pro distributors, like Ewing. This is a $50 value for the pro to leverage with their customers. Talk to your Ewing Service Professional for more details. **Retrofit Opportunities: A majority of Rachio installations replace existing controllers. **Introduce Rachio to your new and former clients before someone else does!
