Steps

  1. Get the schedule rule id from the ScheduleRule objects nested in a Device, or via GET /public/schedulerule/{id} directly.
  2. To run the whole program immediately, send PUT /public/schedulerule/start with body {"id": "<scheduleRuleId>"} — this runs all the rule's zones in their configured order and durations.
  3. To skip the schedule's next planned run instead of running it now, send PUT /public/schedulerule/skip with the same {"id": ...} shape.
  4. To scale all runtimes in a schedule (e.g. -50% during cooler weather) without restructuring zones, use PUT /public/schedulerule/seasonal_adjustment.
  5. Watch for CLIMATE_SKIP_NOTIFICATION_EVENT / RAIN_SKIP_NOTIFICATION_EVENT / WIND_SKIP_NOTIFICATION_EVENT webhooks, which fire when Rachio's own weather intelligence decides to skip a run automatically.
