@yashijoe yashijoe released this 29 Jun 05:53

What's new

New entity: Rain sensor switch

Adds switch.rainmachine_rain_sensor to toggle provision/useRainSensor directly from Home Assistant.

Use case: Automate the hardware rain sensor (Normally Closed) via external sensors or weather station data — turn it on when rain is detected, off when dry, without manual REST commands.

Details:

  • Reads current state from provision.system.useRainSensor
  • POSTs {"system": {"useRainSensor": true/false}} to /api/4/provision
  • Entity category: Configuration
  • Disabled by default in the entity registry — enable manually in HA to use it

Closes #28. Thanks to @sidsolutions-net for the request and the example REST command.
