Why doesn't Rachio have more sensors available?

I integrated Rachio with HA and have access to all the zones, but I thought I would have more sensors on all of the zones that would tell me last water time, next water time, as well as other variables that I should have access to in cards. I only have the binary_sensor entity for the overall system. Does anyone know why I don’t have more sensors available?

There are some attributes in the zone switches that provide some info like last watered, which shows up under summary after the zone has run. The Rachio API doesn’t provide next watering time so there’s no way to implement that. What else are you looking to see?

Brian,

Thanks. How do I access those other attributes and get a list of all that are available?

Thanks,

Mark

Just click on one of the zone switches.

The schedules have some info too
