This `rainbird` component allows interacting with [LNK WiFi](http://www.rainbird.com/landscape/products/controllers/LNK-WiFi.htm) module of the Rain Bird Irrigation system in Home Assistant.

## {% linkable_title Configuration %}

To enable it, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
rainbird:
  host: IP_ADDRESS_OF_MODULE
  password: YOUR_PASSWORD
```

{% configuration %}
host:
  description: IP Address of the Module
  required: true
  type: string
password:
  description: The password for accessing the module.
  required: true
  type: string
{% endconfiguration %}

Finish its configuration by visiting the [Rain Bird sensor](/components/sensor.rainbird/) and [Rain Bird switch](/components/switch.rainbird/) documentation.

Please note that due to the implementation of the API within the LNK Module, there is a concurrency issue. For example, the Rain Bird app will give connection issues (like already a connection active).
