Steps
Register as a developer with Weathermatic to receive an API token and a separate secret token; there is no public self-serve signup form documented, so register directly with Weathermatic.
Store the two credentials as environment variables (community tooling conventionally names them SLN_API_KEY and SLN_API_SECRET_KEY) rather than embedding them in source.
Authenticate each request with both the token and secret per the v2 API's documented auth scheme at the SmartLink Network v2 Apiary docs (docs.smartlinknetworkv2.apiary.io).
Use the portal's controller/zone model to look up your account's SmartLine controllers, then call the API's start/stop-zone operation to run irrigation the same way the SmartLink web portal or mobile app would.
Confirm the resulting zone state through a follow-up lookup call rather than assuming success from a 2xx response alone.
Known gotchas
The only complete SmartLink v2 API reference is hosted on Apiary (docs.smartlinknetworkv2.apiary.io), a third-party docs platform that has seen wide industry sunset/consolidation — verify the docs still resolve before relying on exact endpoint paths or payload shapes, and fall back to Weathermatic developer support if they don't.
This is a SmartLink-line (commercial SmartLine controller) API tied to Weathermatic's cloud portal; it has no relation to Weathermatic's non-SmartLink residential controller lines.
