All RainMachine models come with a built in web interface that allows total control of the device. This interface is accessible from local network, remotely through Direct Access (Port Forwarding) and remotely through the RainMachine Cloud Servers using the My RainMachine webpage. Due to screen space available on modern desktops the web interface can present much more detailed information to the users compared with the mobile applications. It's also an important tool for developers that want more insight and settings for RainMachine.

Local network access

To access the web interface on local network you have to know the IP address of the RainMachine which can be found either by using RainMachine display and going to Settings > WiFi or checking your WiFi router information page.

Once you know the IP address you can navigate to https://<rainmachine ip address>:8080/ to open the web interface. Since the device is using a private IP address in your network you must accept the certificate exception. The certificate will still provide encryption but can't be validated automatically because of the private IP address.
