[APP][Pro] Rachio Irrigation Controller

Will have a look.

I do not own the devices myself. But just checked with help of another user:

After you supplied the API key in the app settings, add a rachio Base Station device to Homey. When done, add Rachio Valve devices to Homey… that’s all

OK. Will try to remove/re-add. Thanks!

Spring is coming, and I’m going to want to integrate Homey with my Rachio. They’re talking OK it seems.

What exactly does the “Zone moisture% ” THEN: card do ?

I’m planning on soil moisture sensors (probably Ecowitt, since Third Reality is flakey) in the zones. Would this be a case of “fetch the zone moisture value from the sensor” and then Set it here ? Would the Rachio controller use that value to adjust the watering schedule ?

Or is that something I would have to do ?

As a side-note - the Rachio is in Hibernation mode right now, but the main tile doesn’t seem to know that ? I’m assuming that’s what “Off Season” means …

Moisture is indeed setting the moisture level of a zone so it can be used.

I will update code to set the standby / off season value when the app starts. It now only reacts when the event occurs.

Cool, so that’s a valid plan then :slight_smile: Need to dig a bit, as I’ve read that Rachio calculates that value itself. It can be overridden in the UI, but only with “Full” (100%) and “Empty” (0%) - I think, I only skimmed that bit.

I can envision a simple flow picking up the soil moisture values a few times a day and pushing that to Rachio. Maybe with a programmed-time one to get the value for a zone say 15mins after the zone has been watered, to see how well the watering did.
