The `rachio` platform allows you to control your [Rachio irrigation system](http://rachio.com/).

## {% linkable_title Getting your Rachio API Key %}

1. Log in at [https://app.rach.io/](https://app.rach.io/).
1. Click the "Account Settings" menu item at the bottom of the left sidebar
1. Click "Get API Key"
1. Copy the API key from the dialog that opens.

## {% linkable_title Configuration %}

To add this platform to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
rachio:
  api_key: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
```

Follow the instructions on [Rachio Binary Sensor](/components/binary_sensor.rachio/) or [Rachio Switch](/components/switch.rachio/) to add Rachio platforms.

### {% linkable_title iFrame %}

If you would like to see and control more detailed zone information, create an [iFrame](/components/panel_iframe/) that renders the Rachio web app.

```yaml
