[Release] RainCloud Controller

[brianwilson]

Another thing I’ve been tinkering on for awhile but should be in a good enough state for use. If you have a Melnor Raincloud device/devices, this lets you incorporate the valves as virtual valves in Hubitat. I use mine with Simple Irrigation. Unfortunately there is no API for Raincloud, so this also requires a daemon to interface/scrape the website. It should support multiple valves and multiple controllers, but I only have one to test with.

This will be in the package manager soon.

Trying to set this up and I get an error on pip3 install json

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement json (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for json

Linux newb - running on a mac mini.

You can ignore that. I believe json is available by default.

Ok that did not work so now I'm trying via docker and I get

[brianwilson]

Bizarre. If you clone the repo, then run this command from that location does it say the same thing?

docker build -t raincloudy-flask --build-arg EMAIL='your@email.address' --build-arg PASSWORD='your_password' .

Don’t forget the dot at the end.

Same error. Dumping these and getting Bhyve now that dman got them working with HE. Thanks for your efforts.

My Docker is running on a Synology NAS, not Pi, maybe that is the issue. I got Node Red running fine via docker so figure this might, not sure why it fought me all weekend.
