Are there any details on how to send data to a watermate to request pump, including which zone and for how long.

I want to send the commands myself so I have full home automation control.

If it’s a case of sending data in a post request it would be easy enough to use something like apple shortcuts to do whatever I need rather than have a full API spec.

This seems like a similar post to “Is there an API” but I noticed another forum post focused on a different product that alluded to this method on watermate being possible.

Hi there - it's something that is technically possible with mains powered Watermates which are online and awake all the time, but solar ones are asleep most of the time.

For mains, inspect the Device Control Panel "water now" buttons; it's a simple GET request.
You should be able to get the IP address of your device from the web app, the "open device control panel" button on the device settings page.
