API Question #1

Closed sibero80 closed 5 years ago

sibero80 commented 5 years ago

Hello Bill, I'm a home automation enthuiast looking to monitor home water usage. The Orbit bhyve seems a good and mature hardware but so far I have not found a manufacturer that provides an api to integrate with applications like Home Assistant.

I have a couple of questions.

Does your implementation require internet connection? Are there any methods to gather water flow?

Thank you!

1) Yes. It requires an internet connection. It is a simple wrapper around Orbit's existing API, which requires an internet connection to access. 2) Nope. It currently does only 2 things: First, set/remove rain delay. Second, start/stop watering a specific zone.

It's just a very very simple wrapper around Orbit's existing API for only those two functions.
