Device Firmware (2nd gen. 2015 and up)

We frequently release new features, improvements, and bug fixes to our RainMachine devices. Each firmware releases are free and easy to implement from the device itself or using the RainMachine mobile applications.

Note: If after an update your RainMachine fails to connect to WIFI or start please remove the power and wait a few minutes. Then connect the power back, the device should start.

RainMachine Mini-8: v.4.0.1036
RainMachine Touch HD-12/16: v.4.0.1144
RainMachine Pro-8/16: v.4.0.1163

Web interface

- New interface to install, update and manage community weather services. Instead of manually installing a new weather service from different sources, now RainMachine shows a list of verified weather services created by the community which makes it easier to install and update.

- Improved RainMachine NOAA weather service with latest forecast service from NOAA NCDC.

- The RainMachine NOAA weather service now allows to select NOAA verified weather stations in vicinity to receive observed data.

- Added Weather Alerts and Advisories from NOAA that shows important weather events.

- Weather Alerts are also sent via mobile notifications.

- RainMachine weather services can now be updated without restarting the device separately from the main firmware update which should allow more frequent and silent updates.

- Added a new weather service for CWOP (Citizen Weather Observer Program) to receive observed data from weather stations all over the world (available as community weather service).

- Improved UI for selecting stations on WUnderground and NetAtmo.

- Fixed issue with NetAtmo and unnamed modules.

- Fixed issue with NetAtmo where user has multiple indoor stations without external modules.

- Improvements and fixes for Web Interface.

Firmware

- It's now possible to set Flow Meter clicks externally through API. This will allow future integrations with smart water meters.

- Fixed an issue with End By Sunrise where watering won't start due to a combination of programs, running time and day of year.

RainMachine Mini-8: v.4.0.1003
RainMachine Touch HD-12/16: v.4.0.1135
RainMachine Pro-8/16: v.4.0.1152

 

Common Firmware

- Fixed Met.No Weather Service not downloading data
- NetAtmo Weather Service: Fixed issue when station name is not present in the returned data - Met.No Weather Service: Update for the latest Met.No API as previous version used by RainMachine is no longer accessible.
- Programs Finish Before Sunrise: We have identified the cause that in certain cases can cause the Finish Before Sunrise programs not to run. To prevent this from happening we are now restricting the program start to be in the same day. If previously the programs could theoretically start way past midnight (for programs with long duration) this is now limited to midnight to prevent same program starting in same day twice leading to confusion.
- NetAtmo Weather Service: Fixed issues with automatic re-login after the expiration of previous login.
- NetAtmo Weather Service: Allow the possibility to specify modules for other base stations if user has multiple base stations
- NetAtmo Weather Service: Allow the possibility to select modules from devices being shared by other users.
- NOAA Weather Service: Better caching of day data for cases where further reports have missing data.
- WUnderground Weather Service: Report observed RAIN for today instead of just for previous day
- Fix conversion for RadiationWattsPerHour for user weather services.

Touch HD Firmware

- WIFI reconnect improvements.

12/20/2016 | v4.0.844

Highlights

*This release adds more customization of zone parameters like soil type, sprinkler head type, sun exposure and slope inclination. With these settings RainMachine can suggest a proper zone watering duration and use advanced soil/vegetation properties to optimize watering requirements.

*Watering Programs can now use an automatic duration which is suggested from the zone properties, this duration will change depending on weather and program frequency. This duration can be increased or decreased by user by a custom percentage. Existing users that use their own manual duration are not affected

*Cycle and Soak can now be set to automatic beside the old manual setting. It will take soil and sprinkler type information and split the watering time in cycles to prevent overwatering and runoffs. Cycles durations that are too small to be beneficial to plants will be automatically scheduled for next watering.

*Automatic Cycle and Soak is now dynamically optimized, so there is no need to wait for a soak duration if succeeding zone watering durations are over the soak duration.

*Field Capacity (how much water can soil keep) is now a per zone property. This is automatically determined from zone settings and can be increased or decreased by user. Also possible surface accumulation from zone slope is take into account. Existing users that were using the global setting will have their setting automatically applied for each zone.

*All vegetation, soil, sprinkler head, slope and sun exposure can be fine tuned by creating custom settings for each of these properties. This includes root depth, crop coefficient (yearly or monthly), allowed depletion, soil intake rate and moisture capacity, sprinkler application rate and efficiency.

*History for predicted forecast from Weather Underground has been fixed for users that were using a custom weather station. Previously the QPF value was overwritten with observed rain amount.

*RainMachine will now try to refresh the weather forecast before running a program.

*People that like to tinker with RainMachine will find a new weather parser that can be configured to execute any API call depending on their own defined rules. It’s similar to IFTTT but built in RainMachine. This feature is beta quality and can be found on Weather Services->Developer->Weather Rules.

*REST API has been updated to version 4.3 with many additions for more information see:
http://docs.rainmachine.apiary.io/#introduction/changes-from-api-4.2-to-api-4.3

*We released an Python client for RainMachine REST API, which allows to control RainMachine from python scripts. More details:
http://wikipage.rainmachine.com/index.php?title=RainMachine_REST_API_Python_implementation

- RMSimulatorFramework: delete previous simulated data for programs starting from the time of the simulator run; delete for all programs, not just simulated programs
- RMSimulatorFramework: do not simulate already ran programs. Use qpfDelta as qpfReal-qpfUsed when no rain information is present (CFP).
- RMSimulatorFramework: fix for subtracting qpfused when rain is none
- RMSimulatorFramework: fix getting et0Used, et0used only for previous run, fixed updating et0used and qpf in past values
- RMSimulatorFramework: fixed bug when adding fake program
- RMSimulatorFramework: rmSimulatorTable: select only last forecastID when getting program next run
- RMUtilsFramework: rmTimeUtils: compute sunrise and sunset


Local Touch Application:

- Changed the Weather - Data Sources to show active weather services
- Watering restriction notification on the main screen
- Added "Current Restriction" screen

01/08/2016 | v4.0.636

Improvements:

General:

- New Web interface design
- RainMachine can now be used with Alexa, just utter "Alexa discover my devices" and Alexa will find your RainMachine zones and programs automatically, no cloud setup required.
- Users that request new features can now choose install updates from beta quality server without waiting for official stable releases.
- Added triggers for notifications on mobile devices
- Improved correction for the past to take in account historical data if user has a weather parser that can retrieve this data (ie: weather underground, netatmo). 
- Correction for the past is optional and has to be activated from Settings (web ui)
- Watering log now also specify water surplus when watering is 0%
- Added a software rainsensor which can be used to completely restrict watering, based on user specified QPF threshold, even if more water is needed in soil after raining
- Better default evapotranspiration for system that aren't connected to the internet.

Simulation:

- Faster irrigation simulation for 7 days in the future

Parsers (weather retrieval):

- It's now possible to upload a new custom parser without overwriting an existing one with same name
- Added ability to delete custom parsers
- Added ability to check on parser last known error message from API
- Weather Underground: Also download and use historical data for yesterday
- Weather Underground: Export nearby airport stations location and distance from RainMachine through API for easier client selection
- netAtmo: Added optional parser for netAtmo that can be used directly with netatmo username and password (which can be configured from web ui)
- netAtmo: retrieve data from available modules (rain, wind)
- netAtmo: added ability to specify from which modules to fetch data
- simulator: Added a weather simulator that can simulate certain kinds of weather depending on user configuration


API:

- New API 4.1 version, clients using API 4.0 are still compatible.
- For new features see http://docs.rainmachine.apiary.io/#introduction/changes-from-api-4.0-to-api-4.1


Fixes:

- Fixed an issue where device name change wasn't visible when accessing RainMachine from https://my.rainmachine.com
- Fixed an issue that was affecting starting day for programs set to run at certain week days
- Fixed an issue that was preventing Forecast.io weather parser to run on RainMachine HD-* product family.
