I set mine up recently. I came across some posts that said you needed to remove the dashes from the API key. With the updated version, I had to add the dashes.
Just got this controller and wanted to follow up on the post above. Are the controls exposed within HA all or nothing to start/stop watering? Or can you start / stop on a per zone basis? IE if I had a specific zone I wanted to water once a week, or based on a moisture sensor (compost pile) can I control that separately?
Yes you can, it exposes controls,
I have created a card to control the Hydrawise Spriklers, using Node-RED to handle all the logic / runtimes selected. Its a little nicer control vs what we get in the HA integration.
Took me a few hours to create but the love lace card works really nice.
I can share the config if anyone is interested,

I would be interested in seeing your config to see a different approach. Thanks.
Sure, here is the config, I made some updates today to improve it.
All my zones in Hydrawise are called as the following, if you copy this, you can mostly copy what I have and it will work, Node-RED will create all the sensors.
You need Node-RED and the following Palette: node-red-contrib-countdown-2, node-red-contrib-bigtimer (if you want to make automations later) I can share that with you, nice and easy.
You need the following from HACS:

Hello, is it possible to create a Lovelace Card that shows an animated short sequence of a video I have recorded when I turn on the irrigation? What’s the best way to do that? Thanks
Hi. Can you help me with no node-red automation? i have 9 zones and i create everything according to your example except automations
I installed everything correctly but when I added the lovelace card it just says entity not available. Any help?
Any help with this intergration? I have an error in my logs: Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/helpers/entity_platform.py”, line 249, in _async_setup_platform

TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not str
with my binary sensor.
Also, I had to remove the dashes(-) from the generated api key, otherwise I get more errors. is this correct? anyway, I cannot find the sensros no where…
Hi,
A quick one is it possible to support multiple controllers?
Hi!
It would be great, when the automatic_watering suspend time can be configurable at the switch parameters. I would like to suspend only for the current day, but now it’s not possible. Now the automatic_watering switch suspends watering for one year and when toggled the code sending the suspend to 0 period ihe code below:
self.hass.data[DATA_HYDRAWISE].data.suspend_zone(0, relay_data)
In the Hydrawise log appears:
Suspending scheduled watering for Hydrawise Zone1 Frontyard till Thursday, 1st of January 1970, 01:00AM
But the zone still suspended for the previously set one year.
Thanks

Where is available local Hunter Hydrawies integration ?
I have exactly the same problem. Did you made a request for this feature on github yet ?
Hi all
Is available local integration for Hunter Hydrawise no by cloud ?
And if we integrate by cloud we can change time irrigation by Home Assistant or only see what time remaining ?
If i have connected also to hunter sensor rain click it will be also show in Home Assistant ?
Is there a way to rename “sensor” and “binary sensor” in HA Overview page?
I opened an issue without any reaction
