The rachio platform allows you to control your Rachio irrigation system.

{% linkable_title Getting your Rachio API Key %}

1. Log in at https://app.rach.io/.
2. Click the "Account Settings" menu item at the bottom of the left sidebar
3. Click "Get API Key"
4. Copy the API key from the dialog that opens.

{% linkable_title Configuration %}

To add this platform to your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
rachio:
  api_key: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

Configuration variables:

• api_key (Required): The API key for the Rachio account.
• manual_run_mins (Optional): For how long, in minutes, to turn on a station when the switch is enabled. Defaults to 10 minutes.

**Water-saving suggestion:**
Set `manual_run_mins` to a high maximum failsafe value when using scripts to control zones. If something goes wrong with your script, Home Assistant, or you hit the Rachio API rate limit of 1700 calls per day, the controller will still turn off the zone after this amount of time.

Once configured, Rachio Binary Sensor and Rachio Switch platforms will be automatically loaded.

{% linkable_title iFrame %}

If you would like to see and control more detailed zone information, create an iFrame that renders the Rachio web app.
