I am using the API to create a super simple client to help me when I change my watering schedules. I have a flow sensor attached that seems to be working OK and I am trying to retrieve the calibrated gallons/hour for each zone.
However, I can’t see that data in the json object that I get for the zone.
The info appears when you view the zone through the web app, so I imagine it is available, but perhaps not exposed through the rest api.
Is there any way to retrieve the calibrated gph for each zone?
I would also like this for Home Assistant integration.
Home Assistant already has an integration for Rachio that can retrieve all the other information from the sprinkler controller. I would like to be able to get the total water consumed so far, too.
Home Assistant has a panel that can show the home’s water usage. I have a Phyn Plus to track the water in my home. That device is placed after the pressure regulating valve, as recommended by Phyn Plus. The sprinklers are on a branch of the water line that is before the PRV because sprinklers need higher water pressure. This is a common way to set up a home.
Because of this, the Phyn Plus does not include the water usage of the sprinklers. If the API of the Rachio exposed the water usage, it would let me measure that branch of the water, too. In addition to the benefit of Rachio water monitoring.
It would be best to report both total water usage so far per zone (in liters or gallons) and also current usage (in gallons/minute, for example).
