Rachio Smart Sprinkler Controller

Add-ons Bindings
404

New release is published:

Main focus:

  • existing controller / zone / schedule compatibility

  • canonical Flex Schedule Thing type: rachio:flex-schedule

  • no support for temporary development-only rachio:flexschedule Things

  • reduced repeated API calls during Item REFRESH

  • previous throttling fix must remain stable

  • webhook behavior should not regress

This removes API overload in some cases. Now binding should run smoothly. I will continue with testing of newly added items and units for the zones.

Any log about issue would be welcomed.

Not seeing much, here is debug log of rachio binding for example. I’ve tried disabling/re-enabling the bridge and also a zone thing but not seeing anything resembling an error/warning or even a channel reference. Any advice on additional steps to get you better info?

I have uploaded a new test build from the current PR-clean branch.

This build includes the latest cleanup and fixes:

  • Cloud Connector-only configuration
  • final flex-schedule Thing type
  • schedule start-time handling from startDate
  • command-only moistureLevel/moisturePercent handling
  • safer logging
  • Rachio servlet lifecycle cleanup

Could you please test this build instead of the earlier one?

The most useful checks would be:

  1. Cloud, controller, zones, schedules and flex-schedules come ONLINE.
  2. Existing Items update correctly.
  3. Disable/re-enable a zone or controller Thing and check whether the “handler was already disposed” warning still appears.
  4. If configured, webhook registration is retained and not duplicated. Your log shows that webhook is not configured.
  5. Please send the Rachio log around startup and the disable/re-enable test.

Thanks. I don’t have webhooks configured. I’ve enabled debug for the binding and restarted my OH instance to produce the following:
