Description
The CPLLC Rachio extension brings a Rachio smart sprinkler controller into Crestron Home. Its tile opens a page listing the controller’s zones, under the names they have in the Rachio app; any zone can be started for a run time of its own and stopped from the page or from sequences, and each zone raises an event when it starts and when it stops. A Standby toggle puts the controller in standby, so its schedules don’t run, and back. The extension talks to Rachio’s published cloud API with the account’s API key, and hears about every change Rachio reports (a schedule, the Rachio app, the controller itself) by webhook, or by reading the controller every minute when no webhook address is given.

Windows utility that simplifies sideloading of drivers and extensions.
The extension’s own license key, or a CPLLC site license key, is entered in the extension’s Enter License Key option. The License Manager is not required, but it is the convenient place to enter a site license key once for every CPLLC driver.
All license purchases are final and non-refundable. Every CPLLC driver works fully for two hours without a key: test it on your processor before you buy. See the Terms of Use.
