. Sounds like hubitiat is polling too often. We have HA polling every 2 minutes, and adding a minute to that for every additional base station on the account if a user has multiple. That seems to be more than adequate. I agree webhooks would be a big improvement through, I’d rather not mess with polling at all.
Is there still no API support for the Smart Hose Timer? I bought two thinking I could use them with IFTTT, but it doesn’t work with the Smart Hose Timer.
I see complicated workarounds on message boards that involve purchasing a Home Assistant device and some type of manual programming, but I have zero experience with that kind of thing and don’t want to have to purchase anything else to get the Smart Hose Timers to work.
I just want to turn on a hose for a set duration when motion is detected on my Ring. It seems like such a simple thing! Really disappointed.
There is API support, just not IFTTT support apparently. Those are two different things. I would assume it can be added by Rachio if they so choose.
Looking for IFTTT support for the Rachio Hose Timers. These timers aren’t cheap and should support IFTTT. Rachio, please work on this feature.
Happy New Year Everybody!
I’m excited to announce that we have released webhook support for Smart Hose Timer. You can read the documentation here Webhooks info
We’ve also released a new webhook API for our irrigation controller which is documented in the link I posted above. We will continue to support the older API but will not longer be providing updates for it.
I’ll try to tag everybody that requested webhook support for API. I apologize if I missed anybody @lnjustin @jvaliquette @Brg468
Let us know if you have any questions or feedback.
Will the new API support a url with an IPV6 address? something like “http://[2001::::::1234]:12345”
We do not currently support IPV6.
Thank you, this is very good news indeed, Dane! I also very happy to see that “flow detected” is also reported. On a related note, is there any possibility of having actual flow rate be reported? This would be helpful to allow automation systems to alert and react in cases where hoses or irrigation emitters break.
Hi @moline I’m glad to hear that you’re excited for this news! We don’t have any plans right now to include an actual flow measurement. I understand how helpful this would be for your use case, I’ve documented it as a feature request.
Is there any chance you will support IPV6 in the near future? Having that certianly address al the CGNAT issue that hinder Webhooks with IPV4
Thanks
Sorry, we do not currently have that on our roadmap.
The new webhook service looks great! Already well on my way to having it up and running. Thanks for implementing this feature request!!
