Rachio intergration

Get Help Integrations

I am using the Hubitat Rachio integration with a Gen 2 8-zone controller (model 7F4D00).

I created a Rule Machine rule called "Stop Sprinklers" that is triggered by a virtual switch.

The issue is that I cannot find a Rule Machine action that reliably stops an active watering zone.

What I have tested:

  • Starting zones from Hubitat works.

  • Water All Rule works.

  • On the Zone 1 device page, the "Stop Watering" command works.

  • In Rule Machine, using Off on the zone devices does not stop watering.

  • In Rule Machine, using a Custom Action with stopWatering() on the zone device does not stop watering.

  • On the controller device, Stop Watering changes status to off but does not stop the active zone.

Question:

For Hubitat Rule Machine, what is the correct command or custom action to immediately stop an active Rachio watering run from a virtual switch?

Are there specific controller commands that should be used instead of Off or stopWatering()?

I installed Rachio through HPM. Hubitat version 2.5.0.157.
My logs repeatedly show: “Invalid Signature on received webhook. Ignoring.”
Starting zones works, but stopWatering()/Stop Watering does not reliably stop an active manual run from Rule Machine.
Is this a known issue with the community Rachio integration? Do I need to re-authenticate, recreate the webhook, or switch to the built-in Rachio integration?

off on my zone devices works I just put each zone on a dashboard and on off directly on the zone devices works fine.

Yes I have it setup also on the dashboard that way also but that is not what I am trying to do. I am trying with one command stop the controller from watering.

if it works on a dashboard to turn on and not from a rule there is a problem with your rule.post it.
