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

You must have the [RainMachine component](https://www.home-assistant.io/components/rainmachine/) configured to use this switch. After configuring that component, switches will automatically appear.

{% linkable_title 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).
