I purchased a Lorex security camera system that sends alerts based on movement detection.  I have rabbits that eat my grass in my front yard, and a neighbor that likes to sit on the side of my house and smoke.  Would love to have my sprinkler activate on the zone which motion is detected for a run time of maybe a minute or two.

  The RainMachine will integrate with IFTTT to allow if then do scenarios. The API will allow JSON commands but your equipment would have to allow for it to do an API call for credentials and then it could trigger a zone. As far as I know Lorex can't do that but if they have added IFTTT integration it can be setup easily. You could even specify times of the day it is allowed to trigger. Examples of companies that do that would be; WYZE cam, Blink, or Oco.

  Jarrod- Lorex does have integration with Apple Homekit, so not sure if that means definitively if it is IFTTT.  Is there example source code and instructions on how to access programming on the RainMachine device anywhere?
