Add support for OSPi 1.3 board's rain sensor input #22

The OSPi 1.3 board has a rain sensor input. It would be great if the software could check this and incorporate it in its zone time adjustment logic.

The rain sensor is just an on or off switch. You are better off using the weather api so it actually scales based on temperature, humidity and rainfall.

How about adding a soil moisture sensor?

Wouldn't a local soil moisture sensor give a more accurate state of of the soil to be sprinkled?
