   Rachio Sprinklers Error         Error getting forecast data from Rachio via API.
   Rachio Sprinklers Debug         API error: 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "plugin.py", line 373, in _update_forecast_data
    current_conditions = reply_dict["current"]
KeyError: 'current'

Other than the obvious key check before entering that logic, what is it used for? Is it ok to just skip that logic?

The SQL Logger plugin uses state names directly as column names, which can cause a column name conflict if the state name is "id". Should be fixed in the sql logger plugin, but a faster turnaround is likely to be a fix in this plugin.

When selecting a t#forecast_temperatureMin/Max through the UI, both Min and Max are displayed as High. The first one resolves to Min

There are several cases where a failure could mean a big problem (leading to over watering or missing a schedule). We should probably add events such that a problem of that kind (the recent throttling by Rachio being one of them) would fire a trigger that users could then trigger from to notify in whatever way they think is appropriate.

The Rachio API supports webhooks to receive status updates. Our current architecture makes accepting connections from some outside source difficult. The IWS rewrite that we're working on now will make that better (possibly significantly better) so we're just going to table doing it for now.

If Rachio becomes even more draconian when throttling API calls then we may have to re-evaluate.

More of a discussion before it's even a proposed enhancement.

@FlyingDiver - do you use Homebridge?

My use case is such that I let Rachio control its own schedule. I do not schedule from Indigo. For manual starts, I prefer to use the Home app, so I'm interested in using this Homebridge plugin: https://github.com/valiquette/Homebridge-Rachio-Irrigation#readme

Problem is, Rachio will block the multiple plugin connections. It's been a while since I tried, but I believe that is the case.

I only use Rachio status in Indigo for a few minor behaviors. If I had to choose between the two plugins, I would choose to disable Indigo.

I think a potential resolution would be to share webhooks, where both plugins could get the messages simultaneously. The Homebridge plugin supports something called Webhook Relay, which I have never used.

Any thoughts?

Starting with a new release of their apps, their API stopped returning 'elevation', 'timeZone', and 'utcOffset' for devices.

It occurs to me that it might be nice to be able to easily toggle standby mode from a menu on the Mac Client.

Which causes some user's to experience communication failures.

So it's not included in the repository. At least, I don't think there's any real reason to include it and it cleans up the repository a little.

It would be nice to set the maximum zone duration in the plugin settings. Occasionally, there are issues that prevent Indigo from stopping the current zone when running a schedule. In those cases, being able to limit the max duration (in minutes?) would help avoid running for a VERY long time.

If I add a water meter to the Rachio Gen 2 will this report daily water usage in indigo

Gen 3 using rachio plugin 1.1.3 and using indigo 7.2. Trying to configure in indigo a new Rachio device after inputting the API key results in an error message:

Rachio Sprinklers Error Error in plugin execution GetUiDynamicList:

Using the curl commands to trouble shoot I (curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer xxxx" "https://api.rach.io/1/public/device/{"id":"xxxxxxxxx"}"
The first xxx is the API key, the second is the device ID. The result is: {"code":"301","error":"Device id:xxxxxxx not found"}
