RainMachine for Home Assistant (built-in integration)

About

RainMachine is a built-in integration that controls RainMachine irrigation controllers from Home Assistant. It talks to the device locally and is set up in the UI, with Home Assistant able to discover the controller on the network and offer to add it. It adds binary sensors for watering restrictions such as freeze, rain delay, hourly, weekday and month limits, plus sensors for flow meter readings, last leak detected and rain sensor start. Switches cover freeze protection and extra water on hot days, and a select sets the freeze protection temperature. Actions start or stop individual programs and zones, and pause, resume, restrict or stop all watering. Other actions push flow meter data and weather data to the device, and options cover manual runs of disabled zones and a default zone run time.
