RainMachine
RainMachine sprinkler controllers are cloud-independent by design: the weather engine runs on the device using NOAA, MET Norway, or personal weather station data, and all watering data stays local. Home Assistant's core RainMachine integration talks straight to the controller's local API.

An 8-zone Wi-Fi sprinkler controller with the same cloud-independent, on-device weather intelligence as the Touch HD line in a compact touch-keypad format.
