Node-RED nodes for controlling RainBird sprinkler controller (like: ESP-ME3) via local LNK2 wifi module connection. This wraps the RainBird SIP protocol using AES encryption. It uses a slightly modified version of node-rainbird originally developed by @bb

    <p>This node activates a RainBird irrigation zone via the LNK2 local controller.</p>

    <h3>Input</h3>
    <ul>
        <li><code>payload.Active</code>: <code>1</code> triggers watering. <code>0</code> is ignored.</li>
        <li><code>payload.SetDuration</code>: optional, sets default duration for a zone (in seconds).</li>
        <li><code>msg.topic</code>: required, contains zone number as string or integer.</li>

    </ul>

    <h3>Behavior</h3>
    <ul>
        <li>Duration is resolved in order: <code>msg.time</code> → zone default → configured default.</li>
        <li>Zone number must be between 1 and 22.</li>
        <li>Duration must be between 1 and 60 minutes.</li>
