### Smart hose timers
The Rachio smart hose timers are not currently capable of receiving real-time updates. Instead, they rely on polling. Because of this, the current state of valves started from a schedule or the physical button will not show up immediately. Polling occurs every 2 minutes when one base station is used, with an additional minute added for every additional base station to remain with the API rate limit. Up to 4 valves can be paired to a single base station.

The `rachio` switch platform allows you to toggle zones, valves, and schedules connected to your [Rachio irrigation system](https://rachio.com/) on and off.
Once configured, a switch will be added for every zone that is enabled on every controller in the account provided and a switch to start or stop every schedule on a controller. There will also be a switch to toggle each controller's standby mode, as well as to activate a 24 hour rain delay on the device.

Service data attribute | Optional | Description |
| ---------------------- | -------- | ----------- |
| `entity_id` | no | Individual zone, schedule, or multiple smart hose timer valves to run. A smart hose timer base station device can also be selected to run all valves on the given base.
| `duration` | yes | Duration in minutes to run the zone or valves. Leave empty for schedules.
