Well, it's spring, sprinklers are running again, and again my Rachio integration with Control4 is not working. Anybody else with issues, maybe from a Rachio API change? I'm using the Blackwire driver, which hasn't had any recent updates.

Ambient Weather WS-2902 Weather Station has Solar Radiation sensor and you can program with IFTTT off of that number.

If I try to pick "WU" from the Service Selector dropdown, then click Set, it changes briefly but immediately reverts to C4. I have a Weather Station that I upload data to WU with and want to use WU as the option.

Between my ongoing system issues, and my lack of time, I'm just now verifying that even when I have the newest driver loaded...2.9.195, there is no "DIMMER" command available in the driver which prevents me from doing the region change (using a chip add-on) through Control4, as a reminder here is a copy and paste of my previous post: the sequence is DIMMER , DIMMER , DIMMER , MUTE , (1,2, or 3) for Region A, B, or C, then a power cycle. Do I still have an issue and "DIMMER" is supposed to be an available command? There is a huge list of commands available but that critical one is missing. There are multiple commands for MUTE including on, off, and toggle so hopefully I'm good there at least. EDIT: This was a driver update issue, I have this command now.

Interested to know this as well, a new beta driver for Oppo 20x was just released so it isn't a dead product--yet...of course I am not sure if anything at this point needs a driver update as major changes may not be coming from Oppo...

I'm reading that as since I have a weather station and provide data to WU, I should be able to still access my own data. But it's a month away and they haven't finalized that.

Haven't really looked at the new ones, but FloLogic not being able to be turned back on remotely is a pain if there is a false alarm.

Because Flologic requires different programming whether the relay is on or off. With just getting a state change, no way to know for sure which way it is. And I have 8 zones changing state very close to each other so overlap could be an issue. Maybe simple for you seasoned programmers but I'm still a novice compared to some of you guys... I actually found something in the Rachio driver that may work for me, you can program on if all zones are off. So I'm going to give that a shot first.

Ok, doesn't seem foolproof with a lot of state changes among the different zones so close together, but I'll give it a shot. Thanks.

Still not seeing enough to work with. Checked that previously.

Ok, but can you explain why you say you have on and off triggers and all I see (in the screenshot) is selected? I'm not wrapping my mind around using "selected" to achieve my programming.

Ok, I need to make sure we are on the same page here. If I do a search in Composer on "sprinkler", the only two options that come up that are valid: relaysingle_sprinklers_c4.c4i (dated 2005) timer_sprinkler.c4z (dated 2016) Is there another one besides those? Because your page currently says: "The Rachio Driver for Control4 also fully compatible with Control4’s new Sprinkler Experience Button and standard sprinkler relay drivers." I included an image of all I have for the Sprinkler timer (Experience button) programming options. Sorry I'm sure I'm missing something...

I've got both in the project, but all my programming was based on the old drivers. If I'm supposed to use the newer, drivers, I don't see any on / off programming on them. Just selected, and timer variables. If I need to open a ticket I can...

I have to control an override of Flologic leak detection using relays. So my programming says once the generic sprinkler drivers are turned on, I override Flologic during the duration of the sprinkler. Since one zone goes after the other, this results in multiple on/off cycles of Flologic override. So: Rachio driver triggers sprinkler relay When sprinkler relay engaged, programming turns on a physical relay that is connected to Flologic that overrides leak detection When sprinkler turns off, override is discontinued. That repeats for each zone triggered by the dymanic Rachio programming If it doesn't engage correctly, after a set programmable period of time (30 minutes normally, but adjustable), it thinks there is a leak and turns off the water.

Driver failed in only the 2nd sprinkler run since I loaded the BW driver. Programming is going to be problematic unless I'm completely overlooking something without a consistent "near instant" two-way feedback for my application. I guess I'll open up a ticket when I have time unless you have anything simple to try to speed things up.

Yes, just bought it and downloaded this week. I'll investigate further.

@Kevin L in my testing tonight, it took about a minute for my Navigator screens sprinkler relays to update with the state. Is this an API limitation that is going to be a typical? The reason I ask is that my programming for my Flologic that overrides leak detection depends on being able to turn on the override when the sprinkler turns on, and turn off the override when the sprinkler turns off. I need to make sure the "off" for the previous zone doesn't come after the "on" for the current zone or my programming will be off. I can put in delays, but that depends on a fairly consistent delay in the Navigator feedback. Thanks for any input.

Gave up on Houselogix and moved to Blackwire's reasonably priced option. Had a support ticket open at HL since 5/25 and no response. I was looking back through my old HL support tickets and they insisted they worked with Rachio on their driver, even though it never worked right.

I never saw any indication it was a memory issue. Support had me clean out the Composer Roaming folder on the PC running Composer, but this was happening on more than one PC. Will wait to see if the issue returns or not. Thanks for the tip.

Just want to say I've had this sensor in my bathroom for quite a few years now and it has been super solid and responsive. I need to buy more of them. You will have to purchase through a dealer, or you risk getting HA version.

I got upgraded to 2.10.x, and got the driver loaded successfully. I think the issue with loading drivers is specific to my system. I've had this issue for a while. Normally a reboot works to get drivers loaded, but then it eventually breaks for adding drivers again. I couldn't get this to work with 2.9.x with your driver. Thanks.

Thank @msgreenf. I'll let you know if I need any help, I might wait it out a little bit. Because of the HL driver being unreliable since Day 1, I'm used to just disabling FloLogic to get past the issues, and then I forget I even bypassed it. I'll probably flood the house sometime...

Ok, besides Houselogix (which I already bought), there are at least four other Rachio drivers: Alan's (no longer available, but wasn't a true driver), Epic, Annex4, and Blackwire. @Kevin L I only see you mention Houselogix, but since you are the only one mentioned officially on Rachio's page, should I assume you have a step up on any other competitors? Do you have any type of official relationship with Rachio so they will work with you on any API changes? Honestly, it was crazy I had to buy this driver once because of the limited functionality that is necessary for me. If I have to buy it again, I want it to be the last time. Thanks...

I just need the Rachio driver from Houselogix to be able to tell my Flologic (water leak sensor) that I don't have a leak while the sprinklers are running. My sprinklers are not tapped in before my water leak sensor, and they shouldn't need to be. First sprinkler session of the season was a fail last night and turned off the water. But, I've fought that driver for years and it was never 100%. I have terrible luck with Houselogix support. Is anybody in active contact with them about things that broke because of the API change?

The newest Oppo driver, v2.9.190, which interestingly has a different file name than a previous driver I am currently using, v1.7.167, will not load into my project. I can load the 1.7.x driver fine as a duplicate. Does the 2.9.x require C4 2.10? Or is there some other reason for this? Because I am still on 2.9.1 until I can get the HC300s removed from my project. I get "add item error" with a dialog box that says "Unable to add to [room name]"
