1. Install

Homebridge UI

Simply go to the 'Plugins' page, search RainBird and install the @homebridge-plugins/homebridge-rainbird plugin.

Manually

This will only work if you are using a platform which installs plugins globally.

sudo npm i -g @homebridge-plugins/homebridge-rainbird

2. Configure

If you use the Homebridge UI then a configuration screen will appear after installing the plugin where you can add your Rain Bird controller with its IP address and the password (or PIN) set during controller setup.

  1. Set a static IP address for your RainBird controller in your router settings.
  2. Enter the controller's IP address and password in the plugin settings.
    • The password is the one you used to set up the RainBird controller in the RainBird app.
  3. Click Save and restart Homebridge.

See the Configuration page for JSON configuration templates and other optional settings if editing the configuration manually.

3. Restart

And voila, your irrigation zones should be added to your Homebridge instance.
