Rain Bird	Instructions on how to integrate your Rain Bird LNK WiFi Module within Home Assistant.	rainbird.png	Irrigation Sensor Switch	0.61	Local Polling	/components/sensor.rainbird/ /components/switch.rainbird/

This rainbird integration allows interacting with LNK WiFi module of the Rain Bird Irrigation system in Home Assistant.

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

• Sensor
• Switch

Configuration

To enable it, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
rainbird:
  host: IP_ADDRESS_OF_MODULE
  password: YOUR_PASSWORD

{% configuration %} host: description: IP Address of the Module required: true type: string password: description: The password for accessing the module. required: true type: string {% endconfiguration %}

Please note that due to the implementation of the API within the LNK Module, there is a concurrency issue. For example, the Rain Bird app will give connection issues (like already a connection active).

Sensor

This rainbird sensor allows interacting with LNK WiFi module of the Rain Bird Irrigation system in Home Assistant.

Add the following to your configuration.yaml file to enable the rain sensor:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  - platform: rainbird
    monitored_conditions:
      - rainsensor

{% configuration %} monitored_conditions: description: Conditions to be monitored. type: list keys: rainsensor: description: Returns the sensor level. {% endconfiguration %}

Switch

This rainbird switch platform allows interacting with LNK WiFi module of the Rain Bird Irrigation system in Home Assistant.

Add the following to your configuration.yaml file to use the switch platform:

switch:
  - platform: rainbird
    switches:
      sprinkler_1:
        zone: 1
        friendly_name: "Front sprinklers"
        trigger_time: 10
        scan_interval: 10
      sprinkler_2:
        friendly_name: "Back sprinklers"
        zone: 2
        trigger_time: 20
        scan_interval: 10

{% configuration %} zone: description: Station zone identifier. required: true type: string friendly_name: description: Just a friendly name for the station. required: false type: string trigger_time: description: The default duration to sprinkle the zone in minutes. required: true type: integer scan_interval: description: How fast to refresh the switch in minutes. required: false type: integer {% endconfiguration %}
