Clustering of Rain Machines

I would like to suggest that we have the ability for multiple Rain Machines to communicate with one another so that they know when the other one is completed its task.

In my installation I have two Rain Machines both running off the one well. I have to run a couple zones in a program on Rain Machine 1 and then alternate to a couple zones in a program on Rain Machine 2. The problem is that as the adaptive programming alters the runtime of RM1 - P1 I still have to rely on a fixed time to start RM2 - P1 (rainmachine 2's first program). It would be ideal if the second RainMachine got a message from Rain Machine 1 saying "Hey I am finished - you can start now!). Basically I would love it if the two rain machines could behave as one.

Hi, Neilheuer
Thank you for your suggestion. We are now gathering more feedback.
As a workaround to your scenario. If you want, you can use IFTTT service and create an applet using RainMachine service for both "THIS" and "THAT" actions.

For "THIS" action choose the "Program Stop" trigger and choose the program you want from RM1 and for "THAT" action choose "Program Start" trigger and choose the program you want from RM2.

Hope this helps, Neilheuer
