Hi @franz
So I know I’ve been annoying you guys about the weather based scheduling. I was being lazy, but I took the initiative to put something together that will solve my problems (and anyone elses who knows how to run this on a linux box somewhere).
I call it Wachio; Wayubi’s Rachio (plus because it’s Wacky-O).
MIT License; so do with it what you want, but don’t blame me if anything breaks.

/**
* PHP client for Rachio Irrigation controller
*
* The Rachio irrigation controller has great hardware. The Android and web
* apps are also pretty decent. However, in my personal opinion, their watering
* model hasn't worked out that great for me: your mileage may vary. Gratefully,
* they have provided API access that allows for custom watering models such as
* this one.
*
* Includes a custom tweakable temperature based watering model

How can someone in our community benefit from this script? 
Thanks!
