Main Features

Change Log

Version 3.0.6049.18697 - Released July 24, 2016

• Modified plug-in to suppress Rachio API query failures. Debug mode will still log details from any query failures.

Version 3.0.6104.19146 - Released Sept 17, 2016

• Fixed rain delay device not resetting to 0
• Fixed rain probability calculation percentage.
• Other minor bug fixes

Version 3.0.6660.35733 - Released March 27, 2018

• Updated the plug-in to honor the newly published Rachio API query limits.<br>
  Note: Previous UltraRachio3 versions are polling the Rachio API service in violation of their newly published API query limits. If you set the update interval to once per minute (the default), then approximately 1,488 API queries will be consumed just to keep the HomeSeer devices up to date. This leaves 212 additional queries every 24 hours. Every time you send a command, it requires 1 for the command and up to 2 additional status queries (depending on the command). This means you have about 70 Rachio commands you can send per day (e.g. Zone On/Off, Schedule On/Off, Online/Offline, etc.) which shouldn't be an issue for most users.

Version 3.0.6742.17939 - Released June 17, 2018

• Fixed remaining issues associated with the latest Rachio API changes.
