Perhaps you've already figured it out yourself, but for anyone interested to use this nice node from within NodeRED, here's a code snippet. Change IP and PIN inside the function to the ones of your Rainbird LNK-Wifi module and check the start and stop nodes for details.

Hi,
it would be cool to use it with Node Red because I have sensors or online weather services. So I could more automate it (e.g. startZone depending on moisture sensors or setRainDelay when rain is coming...).
Maybe somebody can help with an example flow or (with skills) even better a node red module...
