This Edge driver provides an integration between SmartThings and RainMachine over LAN connection.

Thanks for writing this @brbeaird. How are the zones exposed so they can be used in routines/automations?
Right now, you can just turn the zones on or off through automations. I also plan to expose the runtime minute value as well as “pause” once I get some more time.
Cool, that’s what I was hoping for, thanks! I currently use a Spruce controller, but they’ve not done anything yet to move to Edge, so this may be a good time for me to switch irrigation controllers.
hmm, so 2 out of my 5 zones dont have the option to adjust the duration to water.
they display only on or off and the health. strange.
nvm… i turned the zone on, and then off, then refreshed, and the time option appeared! beautiful work!
edit #3… strange, i set the time to 30min and it still seems to only work for a couple min and shut off. does this take into account if the zone 1 is a master valve?
edit#4… so i set my zone 1 to 30 min aswell… same thing. i set both zone 1 and my front sprinkler zone to 30 min and still, it will only work for 1 minute.
I see aswell under “minutes remaining” it will say 1 minute when i turn on the zone even though i have 30 selected on the bar.
Interesting. I thought I tested that, but I may have missed something. I’ll take a look. My master valve is also on zone 1, so I should be able to reproduce it.
Yep, it was a bug - I think I’ve got it fixed now. New driver ID will be dated 2023-07-01T16:23:57.73741076 whenever your hub takes it.
Awesome, all is working perfectly now! Thanks so much. This driver is solid now.
Is there a way to hide inactive zones or otherwise delete them? I have one active zone (Kurapia). The second zone (Flower Beds) isn’t actively watering. The remaining zones (Zone 3 to Zone 8) aren’t even wired up and are also marked Inactive on the RainMachine. However all zones appear as devices:
I tried deleting these unused zones but they just reappeared after a few seconds. Also, I don’t know if this is related, but my first zone appears twice. Again, if I try to delete the duplicate, it just reappears.
If it helps, here is the CLI log for when I tried deleting Zone 8:

i have 3 controllers, is there a way to handle that?
Not currently, but I could probably figure out a way to create additional controller devices.
Thanks for any effort!
