The hydrawise integration allows you to integrate your Hunter Hydrawise Wi-Fi irrigation controller system in Home Assistant.

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

Configuration

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

# Example configuration.yaml entry
hydrawise:
  access_token: YOUR_API_KEY

{% configuration %} access_token: description: The API KEY assigned to your Hydrawise account. required: true type: string scan_interval: description: The time interval, in seconds, to poll the Hydrawise cloud. required: false type: integer default: 30 {% endconfiguration %}

To get your API access token log into your Hydrawise account and in the 'My Account Details' section under Account Settings click 'Generate API Key'. Enter that key in your configuration file as YOUR_API_KEY.

Binary Sensor

Once you have enabled the hydrawise component, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
binary_sensor:
  - platform: hydrawise

{% configuration %} monitored_conditions: description: The binary sensors that should be displayed on the frontend. required: false type: list default: All binary sensors are enabled. keys: is_watering: description: The binary sensor is on when the zone is actively watering. status: description: This will indicate on when there is a connection to the Hydrawise cloud. It is not an indication of whether the irrigation controller hardware is online. {% endconfiguration %}

The Hydrawise API removed the ability to read the rain sensor status. Therefore it is no longer supported by the Hydrawise integration to Home Assistant.

Sensor

Once you have enabled the hydrawise component, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  - platform: hydrawise

{% configuration %} monitored_conditions: description: The sensors that should be displayed on the frontend. required: false type: list default: All sensors are enabled. keys: watering_time: description: The amount of time left if the zone is actively watering. Otherwise the time is 0. next_cycle: description: The day and time when the next scheduled automatic watering cycle will start. {% endconfiguration %}

Switch

Once you have enabled the hydrawise component, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
switch:
  - platform: hydrawise

{% configuration %} watering_minutes: description: When manual watering is enabled this will determine the length of time in minutes that the irrigation zone will run. The allowed values are 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, or 60. required: false type: integer default: 15 monitored_conditions: description: Selects the set of switches that should be enabled on the frontend. Also sets the length of time a zone will run under manual control. required: false type: list default: All switches are enabled. keys: auto_watering: description: Enables the Smart Watering features for this zone. manual_watering: description: Enables the manual watering control for this zone. {% endconfiguration %}

Switch Operation

When auto_watering is on the irrigation zone will follow the Smart Watering schedule set through the Hydrawise mobile or web app. When the auto_watering switch is off the zone's Smart Watering schedule is suspended for 1 year.

When manual_watering is on the zone will run for the amount of time set by watering_minutes.

Due to changes in the Hydrawise API the status of the Auto Watering switches has changed. Under normal conditions the Auto Watering switches correctly reflect the Smart Watering schedule on the Hydrawise mobile or web app. However, if a rain sensor is connected to the system and it is active (rain detected), or the zone is running the Auto Watering switch will turn off. After both of those conditions are removed the switch will again show the correct Auto Watering condition.
# An example that enables all the switches, and sets the manual watering time to 20 minutes.
switch:
  - platform: hydrawise
    watering_minutes: 20
# An example that enables only the manual control switches.
switch:
  - platform: hydrawise
    monitored_conditions: manual_watering
