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

{% linkable_title 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 %}

Finish its configuration by visiting the Rain Bird sensor and Rain Bird switch documentation.

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).
