- Control sprinkler zones like any other X10 connected device
- Multiple units can be networked for larger installations
- Configure entire sprinkler program as a single X10 address, or assign
X10 address to each sprinkler zone
Overview
Integrate sprinkler or watering system control into your X10 home automation system
with the Rain8, a full-featured, 8-zone irrigation controller that accepts and reacts
to standard X10 commands. This opens up the world of sprinkler and irrigation system
control to anyone with X10 timers, remote controls, even over-the-Internet control
using PC-based automation software.
Performance FeaturesSet up is easy. All you
have to do is momentarily connect the Rain8 to your PC's serial port to assign the
X10 address and program cycle durations for each sprinkler zone. Once the X10 address
and zone cycle durations have been set, the Rain8 can be disconnected from the PC
and will respond to X10 signals just like any other X10- connected device.
