This is a cumulative software release⁽¹⁾ for RainMachine HD-12/16, RainMachine Pro-8/16, and RainMachine Mini-8. It contains improvements and fixes for Met.no data service (European Weather Service API) as well as web interface improvements. See below for details.

Common firmware improvements and fixes

Weather Services

Met.no
 - Update for the latest Met.no API as the previous version used by RainMachine is no longer accessible.
Netatmo
 - Fixed issues with automatic re-login after the expiration of the previous login.
 - Allow the possibility to specify modules for other base stations if the user has multiple base stations.
 - Allow the possibility to select modules from devices being shared by other users.
NOAA
 - Better caching of day data for cases where further reports have missing data.
WUnderground
 - Report observed RAIN for today instead of just for the previous day.

Programs

- Improved Program feature "Finish by Sunrise/Sunset". 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 to start to be on 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 the same program from starting on the same day twice leading to confusion.

Wi-Fi

- Improved Wi-Fi behavior on multi-point access points disconnects.

Smart Integrations

- Apple HomeKit support on all current devices (RainMachine Touch HD-12/16 and RainMachine Pro-8/16).
- Powerful new IFTTT additions, you can now send weather information from various IFTTT weather services and stations to your RainMachine, change programs start time and date, and many new triggers for program stopped with reason, rain delay, weather updates, leak detection.
