Rachio Sprinkler Controller & Soil Moisture Sensors

I just paired 2 Toro precision soil moisture sensors with my Rachio Sprinkler controller.

The algorithm that Rachio uses to determine soil moisture is INACCURATE. There is a 30%+ soil moisture difference between the Toro sensors and Rachio.

I don't understand why they didn't code their controller to use soil moisture sensor data at all. I didn't realize I couldn't add the sensors to the controller by zone. I have to check the soil moisture percentage by going into the garage instead of seeing it on my phone. It's probably because Toro and Rachio didn't want to work together.
