Yes I understand that placement of your router in the house affects the signal. I have a patio villa and my router is in roughly the center of the villa. I ahve a smart thermostat. smart lock and outside camera on the roof facia . So having the controller in the garage in a panel box( with at least 5/8" drywall in the garage and 1/2" drywall inside) a wall between the garage and living space affected anyone's signal?
Thanks

Installed Rachio 3 in garage of designer home several months ago. Have had no wi-fi signal strength problems. Works great. Router is located above kitchen cabinets.
I just noticed that Rachio (at Amazon) now has an option to include a wi-fi range extender - if that helps to alleviate your fears. More $$ of course.
