There is currently support for the following device types within Home Assistant:

• Binary Sensor
• Number
• Switch

{% include integrations/config_flow.md %}

Configuration Options

The integration has a configuration option to change the default amount of time that the irrigation will run when turning on a zone switch (default is 6 minutes). This can be overridden with a service call (see below).

Binary Sensor

The rainsensor sensor will tell if you if the device has detected rain.

Number

The Rain Delay Number Entity lets you set and view the number of days, if any, the automatic irrigation schedule has been delayed.

Switch

Switches are automatically added for all available zones of configured controllers.

Services

The integration exposes services to give additional control over a Rain Bird device.

rainbird.start_irrigation
