The `rainmachine` component is the main component to integrate all platforms
related to [RainMachine smart Wi-Fi sprinkler controllers](http://www.rainmachine.com/).

## {% linkable_title Base Configuration %}

To connect to your RainMachine device, add the following to your
`configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
rainmachine:

```

To configure switch-related functionality, add configuration options beneath
a `switches` key within the `rainmachine` sections of `configuration.yaml`
as below:

```yaml
rainmachine:
  ip_address: 192.168.1.100
  password: YOUR_PASSWORD
  switches:
    # switch configuration options...
```
