rainmachine - weewx extension that sends data to RainMachine smart irrigation controler
Copyright 2018 Green Electronics LLC

This extension only works on the local network (doesn't work with RainMachine 
Remote Access service). RainMachine IP address and http port 8081 or 
https port 8080 must be accessible from WeeWX installation. The usessl parameter 
controls if connection to RainMachine should be http or https. On certain version of 
weewx the usessl=true (https) might not work because of RainMachine self-signed certificate 
for local network.

This extension requires RainMachine to be updated to latest version and have RainMachine API 4.6 to work.


Installation instructions:

1) run the installer:

wee_extension --install weewx-rainmachine-v0.3.tar.gz

2) modify weewx.conf:

[StdRESTful]
    [[RainMachine]]
        token = RAINMACHINE_ACCESS_TOKEN
        ip = RAINMACHINE_IP_ADDRESS
	usessl = False

The token can be obtained with a POST request:
curl -X POST -k -d ' { "pwd": "your_password", "remember":1}' https://rainmachine_ip:8080/api/4/auth/login
