Rainmachine FW updates of interest

Recommended Posts

There's a new rainmachine rom

Of interest are:

  • - Added Local Weather Push API that allows weather data to be pushed to RainMachine either on local network or from other services.
    • Personally don't need it but rainmachine users with a local weather station may want to check this out
       
  • - Added back the local plain HTTP access by port 8081 as it was used on several 3rd party integrations.
    • I think this was in the last beta. Its official now

If my current wifi setup didn't work as well as it does I would consider the 5ghz wifi card option

I've been running this software for a few weeks, but as I still have snow on the ground, I can't speak to how the controller is behaving in service.

For those who have a WeatherFlow weather station, the Local Weather Push is available to you, care of @bpwwer.  It works like a charm!
