just spent like 45 minutes debugging why i couldnt get zones to turn on with my rachio dashboard to blow out sprinkers..
fffricking rain sensor was still on even though sunny today after 3 days of rain..
guess i need to add the sensor status to my dashboard lol
no attribute for that.. that is a bug.. there is a rain delay but that is for weather rain delays.. why not attribute for rain sensor triggered?
When i set my Rachio3 up i neglected to turn the rain sensor on (it was connected, just not active). When i activated it it said it was wet even though we hadn't had in train in almost 2 months. I ended up deactivating it soy my yard wouldn't burn up.. in July in Texas it prevented the system from running for two weeks. Yep, it's a bug.
Well mine.does work. It is still wet as it rained for 3 days. My.bug is there is no way to.check.if.its flipped via hubitat.
Ahhh missed that part. Mine thinks it is wet when it hadn't rained in months!
Hey, off subject. Have you been able to get your rachio to pull data from your ecowitt system?
i havent tried as the rachio is usually pretty good at predicting rain if not overly cautious.. and as i said my rain sensor works.. I did have one previously that did not. recommend you check your wiring with a multimeter if it is not working..
But as i noticed it is cork.. and it takes a day or day to dry out. you could easily make your own ... stick a couple of wires in a cork and mount outside.. lol
You should be able to write your own rules in rule machine where you check custom attributes in either ecowitt or one of the openweather etc apps. for rain and then put the rachiio in a rain delay using the buit in function set_Rain_delay to say 2 hours.. etc.. you would use the custom action in rule machine the type would be actuator the device would be the main rachio device..
