This app has worked in local wi-fi mode just fine for 7 years until April 1, 2025. I did not like their attempt to collect a fee for remote access, so I opted for local only. Samsung did an auto-update on 4/01/25 on my phone (Android 15) that was not compatible with the Rain Machine app. I could not get beyond the app screen that lists the RM devices!!! I almost gave up and replaced the RM. Then, I tried access from an older phone in wi-fi local mode ... worked just fine! Hope this helps you

I was having the same problem that other people were having with it not working with the local discovery and finally figured it out. Go to network settings and then direct access, enter the IP of your rain machine and call it whatever. That will now show up, and you can access it on your local network. Going to last a little longer...was about to bail on my 9 years young device.

App Died but local access works! Just goto it's IP address on a web browser when you're on the same network (aka at home on Wi-Fi). Everything works perfectly fine doing it that way!

Do not buy a Rain Machine. Remote access changed to a paid service after purchase and local access no longer works through the app no matter what you try. Local access still works through a web browser for now. I recommend moving to another irrigation controller if you are looking for the ability to control the system through a phone app or web browser.

This was a great remote control for my sprinkler system when I purchased it. Unfortunately Rain Machine changed their model a few years in and charges you for remote control of your system. Completely defeats the purpose. Don't waste your time or money with Rain machine.

Worked great when first installed. Now, won't connect locally and even the remote connection keeps getting worse. I can't even access my watering schedule now. Looks like I need a new device soon. Guess which brand I won't be buying.
