Emulate Rain Sensor state with API

[pfeifer]

I have a rain sensor that can send a http Get request when active.
The rain sensor is outside, and the raspberry is inside.
I can’t wire them.
Can I emulate the Rain Sensor on Raspi with a get request made by the rain sensor?

You can use the rain delay feature. Basically have your rain sensor send a rain delay command, with the maximum amount of rain delay time; then when the rain sensor is deactivated, send a rain delay value of 0 to clear it out. The rain delay settings is included in the /cv command. Check the firmware API for example:
