Hydrawise API

This is a client for the Hydrawise API. Hydrawise is an internet-controlled home irrigation system.

On a very basic level, it allows you to do:

• Get zones
• Run a command on a zone (run/stop/suspend)
• Command all zones at once

For all possibilities, have a look at the inline code documentation

Getting started

When possible use a local connection to your controller since it's not rate limited (HTTP error 429) and suffers no delays when trying to run commands on zones.

Setup for a cloud connection

const Hydrawise = require('hydrawise-api').Hydrawise;
const myHydrawise = new Hydrawise({ type:'CLOUD', key:'YOUR_API_KEY' });

You can obtain your API key from the "Account Details" screen on the Hydrawise platform

Setup for a local connection

const Hydrawise = require('hydrawise-api').Hydrawise;
const myHydrawise = new Hydrawise({ type:'LOCAL', host:'HOSTNAME_OR_IP_ADDRESS', password:'YOUR_CONTROLLER_PASSWORD' });

You can also provide a user parameter, but this should be 'admin' in most cases.

Basic usage

Get Zones

Get all zones and see their status.

myHydrawise.getZones()
  .then(zones => console.log(zones))
  .catch(error => console.log(error));

This will return an array of HydrawiseZone objects containing the following info:

{number} relayID - The unique relay number known to the Hydrawise cloud
{number} zone - The local zone/relay number
{string} name - The name of the zone
{Date} nextRunAt - The date & time of the next scheduled run 
{number} nextRunDuration - Run time in seconds of the next run defined by nextRunAt
{boolean} isSuspended - Returns true when the zoneis currently suspended
{boolean} isRunning - Returns true when the zone is actively running
{number} remainingRunningTime - Remaining run time in seconds when isRunning = true

By default only the active zones are returned, you can change this behaviour by calling getZones(false) instead.

Run a command on a zone

You can execute a couple of basic commands on each zone: run(), suspend() or stop()

myHydrawise.getZones()
  .then(zones => {
    zone[0].run().then((info) => {
      console.log('success');
    }).catch(error => console.log(error));
  }).catch(error => console.log(error));

For the run & suspend commands you are able to provide a custom duration in seconds: run(600) (for 10 mins). If no custom duration was provided, the default run time configured for the zone will be used.

Zones can also be commanded directly from the Hydrawise object:

myHydrawise.runZone(1) - Run by local zone number (only. for local bindings)
myHydrawise.runZone(123123) - Run by unique relay ID (only. for cloud bindings)
myHydrawise.runZone(myHydrawiseZoneObject) - Run by the HydrawiseZone object returned by getZones()

Command all zones at once

It's also possible to command all zones at the same time:

myHydrawise.runAllZones()
  .then(info => {
     console.log('success');
  }).catch(error => console.log(error));

Here as well, you are able to provide a custom duration: runAllZones(600) (for 10 mins).

Tested on a configuration with a single HC6 controller. If you have multiple controllers in your configuration and you run into problems, you're free to create an issue or contribute yourself :-)
