Hi @Brian_Monninkhof , tested the “Rain set point reached” variable but does not work.
Did you check the previous notes I shared?
Let me know.
Luca
Hi Luca, thanks for testing. I fixed the local rain sensor synchronization in v2026.8.10: the physical sensor is now read directly on every poll, also during irrigation, and a manual rain delay is no longer treated as sensor activity. The build is now available in Test. Could you please update and test the “Rain sensor is active” capability/condition again?
Hi Brian, I will check the rain sensor. Could you please check the time left variable? If I start irrigation from Homey the variable updates itself but with a scheduled program on Rain Bird 2.0 app the irrigation time does not update.
I also see that the IQ4/cloud device has less cards then the local one.

Hi Luca, version 2026.9.1 is now available in Test. I added the missing IQ4 device Flow cards and improved detection of the remaining runtime for scheduled Rain Bird 2.0 programs. I also fixed the IQ4 water-usage reset action. Please update and check whether “Time left” now updates during a scheduled program.
Hi Filip, please use the Rain Bird Local (LNK/LNK2) driver for your RC2 module, not Rain Bird Cloud (IQ4 / Rain Bird 2.0). Enter the local IP address of the Rain Bird WiFi module and the controller password. IQ4 is only for Rain Bird 2.0/IQ4 cloud controllers.
Hi Brian, I thought that if I use Rain Bird 2.0 app it’s obligatory to use IQ4/Rain Bird 2.0 module.
I have tried adding my RC2 driver through LNK/LNK2 but I got error as well, below I attach diagnosti message I got:

Do You know what’s the password that I need to fill in during the setup of LNK module, is it the password fot the Rain Bird 2.0 app?
Hi Filip, I published version 2026.9.3 to Test. It increases the local pairing timeout from 10 to 30 seconds and fixes the diagnostic logging, so controller responses are now readable. Your report shows that the local controller did not respond at the configured IP address within 10 seconds. Please update, try the Rain Bird Local (LNK/LNK2) driver again, and verify that the RC2 module IP is correct and reachable from the Homey network. If it still times out, the module may only expose the cloud connection or local access may be blocked.
Hi Brian, sorry for the delay! Everything works except the rain sensor.
Thank u for your time!
