Rachio-Node-RED

Node-RED flow using Rachio API for sprinkler dashboard and control

Since the Rachio API has a daily call limit, this flow builds and uses a config file to store personID, device ID, Zone IDs.

The following required Nodes Need to be installed:

1. node-red-dashboard
2. node-red-contrib-config
3. node-red-node-ui-table

Process to setup intial config file (Should only have to be done once at install time):

1. Import Flow into Node-RED
2. Set your API key in the Config Node
3. Trigger the Step 1
4. Take the ID value from the Step 1 payload and use that to set the personID in the Config Node
5. Trigger Step 2 to build the config file
6. Trigger Step 3 to check the config file

Limits

1. Current version assumes only 1 Device (Homes with multiple devices will need to extend logic)
2. Config setup to support 8 or 16 zones. Current version tested on 8 zone only
3. Zone Control wired to one zone for now. Need to explore mulitple zone on/off logic before adding other zones.
