This is not my integration. But since it was never shared here, I decided to share it along with my irrigation schedule/automation setup.
There is a general Aiper integration, but as far I can tell as of today it doesn’t include the Irrisense 2 irrigation devices.
This one is dedicated to Irrisense 2:
With this integration I am able to create irrigation schedules that are not possible with the official Aiper app. With the app you can only create one a schedule linked to one irrigation zone. This is problematic when you have multiple zones and just want them to be watered sequentially. With the app you need to time separate schedules for different zones to make sure they don’t overlap.
With HA you can use the Active Zone state change to start a new zone.

This simplified example demonstrates switching between watering zones and even different Irrisense 2 devices whenever a specific watering active zone switches from a particular zone to Idle using trigger IDs. The first trigger ID is a time based trigger when irrigation is to begin. The rest is accomplished whenever the prior irrigation zone has turned to an idle state, meaning it is finished.
Hope this is useful to anyone.
BTW: as for the limitation that Aiper only allows one account to connect to its cloud at any given time and your HA integration and App will constantly throw each other out - I noticed it was not enough to just make sure the App on your smartphone is closed. Apparently it will still wake up and connect in the background, which constantly caused the HA integration to go unavailable.
I was able to fix this by denying the app the ability to connect to my local network and by disabling notifications for the App. I use iOS, so not sure how this is done on Android as Android users have noticed the same issue. In my case (with iOS) this keeps my HA integration available at all times. If I want to use the app for anything (like firmware updates), I disable the Irrisense integration in HA and open the app. I have to login again in the app, but it works until I close the app and re-enable the HA integration.
