Steps

  1. In the Rachio mobile app, open the profile icon, then select "API key -> Copy" to obtain a personal bearer token; Rachio has no separate self-serve developer portal for this token.
  2. Call GET https://api.rach.io/1/public/person/info with header Authorization: Bearer <token> to get your person id.
  3. Call GET https://api.rach.io/1/public/person/{id} to retrieve the full Person object, which embeds each Device, and each Device embeds its Zone and ScheduleRule arrays.
  4. Parse each Device's zones[] entries for zoneNumber, id (the unique zone id used by ZoneService calls), name, and enabled.
  5. Cache the returned ids locally instead of re-fetching the whole person/device tree before every zone action, since the account-wide call budget is limited.
