OK, I just made myself a note on how to investigate the additional API calls based on this thread.
Posting here fin case it helps others:
The documented API is hosted at api.rach.io. But there is a more powerful undocumented API that is hosted at cloud-rest.rach.io. To figure out how it works, do the following:
- Using Google Chrome, log in to https://app.rach.io.
- Hit F12 in Chrome to open the developer tools window.
- Click on “Network” on the top menu of the developer tools window.
- Click on “Fetch/XHR” in the developer tools window.
Now, use the Rachio web page to do different things. Each time you interact with the web site, the background REST API calls are listed in the Fetch/XHR window on the right. You can study any message of interest and see the format that is required to use that API call.
NOTE: The “Big Boy” warranty applies. If something changes or does not work, it’s your responsibility to be a big boy and figure it out. Not bitch at Rachio.
