### Smart Hose Timers
### Smart hose timers

The Rachio smart hose timers are not currently capable of receiving real-time updates, and instead rely on polling. Because of this, the current state of valves started from a schedule or the physical button will not show up immediately. Polling occurs every 2 minutes when one base station is used, with an additional minute added for every additional base station to remain with the API rate limit. Up to 4 valves can be paired to a single base station.

The `rachio` switch platform allows you to toggle zones, valves, and schedules connected to your [Rachio irrigation system](https://rachio.com/) on and off.

Once configured, a switch will be added for every zone that is enabled on every controller in the account provided, a switch for each smart hose timer valve and a switch to start or stop every schedule on a controller. There will also be a switch to toggle each controller's standby mode, as well as to activate a 24 hour rain delay on the device.
