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:
controllers:
- ip_address: 192.168.1.100

```
To configure additional functionality, add configuration options beneath
a `binary_sensor`, `sensor`, and/or `switches` key within the `rainmachine`
sections of `configuration.yaml` as below:
```yaml
rainmachine:
controllers:
- ip_address: 192.168.1.100
