Martin. I get this screen when trying to add controller. ![IMG_3559](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/6/6698569e935fb166d461b01f8e1cd2dba032d76f.jpeg) Any suggestions? ---

can you check test version [Rachio | Homey](https://homey.app/a/com.verbem.rachio/test/) please also check the API key again, something might have been saved wrongly ---

update in test that sets controller unavailable when API key is invalid. Also stops polling from crashing when that is the case. ---

After hitting the save button, wait for the popup that says Authenticated. If you do not have anything yet, deinstall the app and restart. I will add some comment that you have to wait… ---

Valve state and start and stop watering would be great, having access to programs would be icing on the cake. Just having the ability to start and stop a valve based on my soil moisture sensors would be fantastic though. ---

I only got to do a quick test before going out of town for the week but so far on/off works on the Rachio Valve. Really appreciate the quick update! ---

Is there a “trick” to getting the app to recognize valve controllers? I’ve been able to connect the hub, but doing so only offers basic connectivity validation. I can’t actually water anything until I can see the actual Valve Controller, but Homey thinks I only have a hub with nothing connected to it.
