rainmachine

The rainmachine integration is the main integration to integrate all platforms related to RainMachine smart Wi-Fi sprinkler controllers.

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

Base Configuration

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

rainmachine:
  controllers:
    - ip_address: 192.168.1.100
      password: YOUR_PASSWORD

{% configuration %} ip_address: description: The IP address or hostname of your RainMachine unit. required: false type: string password: description: Your RainMachine password. required: true type: string port: description: The TCP port used by your unit for the REST API. required: false type: integer default: 8080 ssl: description: Whether communication with the local device should occur over HTTPS. required: false type: boolean default: true scan_interval: description: The frequency (in seconds) between data updates. required: false type: integer default: 60 zone_run_time: description: The default number of seconds that a zone should run when turned on. required: false type: integer default: 600 {% endconfiguration %}

Switch

The rainmachine switch platform allows you to control programs and zones within a RainMachine smart Wi-Fi sprinkler controller.

Controlling Your Device

After Home Assistant loads, new switches will be added for every enabled program and zone. These work as expected:

  • Program On/Off: starts/stops a program
  • Zone On/Off: starts/stops a zone (using the zone_run_time parameter to determine how long to run for)

Programs and zones are linked. While a program is running, you will see both the program and zone switches turned on; turning either one off will turn the other one off (just like in the web app).
