I also have the Rachio and it's awesome. You'll love it.
Not sure why you have the weather enabled one though...isn't your weather the exact same every single day of the year?
It is weather enabled & I had it on, which caused it not to water Sunday morning at 3 am as scheduled because it thought there would be rain (there wasn't) I turned it off.
I really like not having to go outside to deal with it & not having to remember the insane hoops needed to jump through to deal with the old one.
Our toaster is 20 years old & looks awful (also not stainless) so I posted I ordered a Breville, I was told about a Ninja 10 in 1 space saver so ordered it, it's pretty cool!
Reminds me I need to get my irrigation repaired. Still have some issues from the pool install.
Luckily [?] we've had a wet spring/summer, so the grass [weeds] is thriving. Maybe when it cools in the fall [late November] I'll start getting it fixed up

If it's anything like the B-hyve, there should be a threshold you can set based on the amount of rain forecasted (in inches).

It's a range, not indicative of a specific temp. Anything past the halfway point is considered overheating.
It has thresholds, I set it at 1/2 inch, it claimed the forecast exceeded that. it didn't rain. I decided for Az I don't need it.
It has rained more than normal, .07" at my house this month.

If this sort of thing happens, mine will change its mind in the middle of the night often. Strange that yours didn't, maybe it's still learning?
I got a vaccuum bleeder, drained, vacuumed & filled, no change, gets to 210 (and climbing) at 110 ambient. I'm thinking the sub 500 mile OEM thermostat failed closed, before I go through the R&R (which requires pulling the radiator) does that make sense & is there anything else to check (the car was running fine for 500ish miles)

It's very unlikely that a tstat failed closed just in the way it's designed to function unless something got pinched/obstructed to prevent the tstat from functioning. Me thinks there's something else going on. I'd try and bleed the system again or there's a place where you have air coming into the system somehow. Make sure you don't have any leaks, burp the system manually (not vac bleed, don't have to drain it either) and try again. Make sure the vehicle is level or the reservoir is at the high side of the vehicle before burping it. Bubbles will always rise upward.

This shouldn't be an issue. The t stat would open when hot anyway and send fluid through the radiator. The tstat is an all or nothing valve so there's no increased flow, just would take a lot longer to come up to temp.
After all this, the damn sub 250 mile radiator has a freaking drip at the end tank, (can't be the cause of the overheating, it was happening before the drip & the system was full)
I ordered a CSF, (thanks for the research Morgan) will be here Tuesday.
Radiator is in. The Zionsville oil cooler that fit the OEM radiator, didn't fit the CSF. I had to bend the welded on mount & had to make a new removable mount.
Radiator is thinner.
Cooler too wide
Used an aluminum shelf mount I got to mount the super charger coolant reservoir. (had 2 left)
First use of the new saw, Dremel was taking too long.
