For what its worth this is what I got from support when I opened a ticket 9 days ago. We are working on a couple of issues. The "rendezvous" error in UD Mobile is firmware related for some, but not all, users and we hope to have a new build in the next week. The "Could not write characteristic" error is being encountered for all users on iOS devices for Matter BLE Wi-Fi commissioning. iOS is blocking communication to Bluetooth for a characteristic (UUID) used by Matter devices. We are looking into the issue with Apple. So, currently BLE commissioning for Matter devices from an iOS device will not work, but Matter should work for IP, Thread, and previously commissioned WiFi devices.

You will only need your API Key. Copy if just in case so you can drop it in the config but yes, you do not need port forwarding anymore once you upgrade. You also need to make sure you have remote access enabled: PG3 remote access must be configured and active. To configure this, login to My ISY, and under your ISY, use: Select tools | PG3 | Remote Connection

Upgraded without any issues.

Confirming 5.0.3 fixed that issue. Thank you.

Found a new issue. When you attempt to stop Rachio from watering it does not (via Programs / Admin). Let me know if you would like logs PM'd.

Just looked; the upgrade to 5.0.2 must have set it to 600. Thanks for making sure.

Will do.

I can confirm that the upgrade to 5.0.2 did the trick. Watering status is now working. Thank you @Jimbo.Automates!!!

Update not showing in the store:

Just resent logs in debug mode.

Same result - PM'd logs.

Mine is not nearly that complex and have been checking at the top level on Watering not at the zone: Front Door Dog Water Sensor Then - [ID 0062][Parent 0001][Not Enabled] If 'Outside / Front Door / Front Door Sensor' Status is On And 'Generic / Rachio-Sprinkler' Watering is Off Then Run Program 'Front Door Dog Water' (Then Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') So it is checking: The example above looks like it will send the notification in either on or off. I did check the zones just now to see if that is updating in a few seconds. Example I turned on Zone 1 and the Water Status did not update for the zone until I hit query.

Yes - all good on that front:

I did go in and turn it on - looks like the instructions are a little dated and this is now under the PG3 menu vs maintenance. If I missed something let me know.

Happy to be bleeding edge - have already upgraded but unfortunately I am not seeing a status change without a manual query. Happy to help you troubleshoot...

Huge thanks to @Jimbo.Automates for taking this project on. I have upgraded to 5.0.1 (all went very smooth) and am unfortunately still in the same boat. I am not sure that this has even been addressed yet so I very well might be jumping the gun and sure don't want to come across as pushing. In summary unless I manually query Rachio it does not update the status of Watering Yes/No. The goal is to have a program that will turn a zone on if a door is opened and Rachio is not watering. I have the program working correctly but it will only work if I manually query to get the correct status before the program runs.

In the legacy 4.0.4 version I did have the port open and forwarding - without it if I recall not much worked (I don't think it would see any of the zones or programs for sure). I just upgraded to 5.0.1 and am having the same issue with the status not changing without a manually query. I don't want to hijack this thread so I will post back on my original Status Update post. Thank you again for picking this up @Jimbo.Automates

My only request is what I think kicked this off - to be able to see the status if Rachio is currently watering or not (Watering On/Off). Thank you for taking this project on!

I think this would be fantastic! Looks like it has been years since they have done any updates.

I would say this post from 2023 gives the answer on a similar situation on the status of each zone: "I have found that this node is not really be maintained and doesn't really work." Developer as has been mentioned has not done anything with this for years. Perhaps someone else will pickup.

Thanks kzboray, I will look at giving this a try and report back.

I did mention that setting a time to not run the program works fine which would be the fallback but it would be nice when you manually kick things on in the middle of the day it is aware of the Watering status.

GregKinney - this is the Rachio Forum. I have never understood a response like oberkc just gave - I don't use it but I can not help but give my opinion to something I don't know anything about.

Tried that - issue seems to be that it will not query the Watering status.

Larryllix - I do not follow what you are asking. Generic / Rachio-Sprinkler' Watering is Off is not a program it is the status of the Rachio. Watering is either Off or On. Its a door sensor so its simply opening the door to let the dogs out, it is in the ON status for 5 seconds or so. In a nutshell what I believe the IF statement should be doing is saying if the front door is opened check to see if Rachio is watering the lawn; if it is not watering the lawn then run the program called Front Door Dog Water. If I remove the Rachio Watering check and put say a time in when the scheduled nightly watering takes place all works as you would want; door opens while it is between those times and it doesn't run the Front Door Dog Water program. It seems like the check on Rachio to see if it is Watering is not working.
