Rain8II Sprinkler Controller Set - WGL & Associates

Control your garden irrigation with the X10 system as simply as your lamps!

The Rain8 is a full featured, 8 zone irrigation controller that may be linked together to provide a maximum of 256 zones of operation. A must for automating lawn sprinkler systems. A complete irrigation schedule can be triggered by the reception of a single X10 power line carrier command. With its dual mode capability, each individual zone can be controlled independently if the user prefers.
Using a PC and Rain8's software all aspects of irrigation may be controlled over the Internet. Great to be used in combination with HomeSeer Home Automation software.

Features: With this 2-way version, you can determine which irrigation zones are on and which are off. Designed for use with X10-compatible computer interfaces and other devices that can generate the X10 Status Request command. In addition to giving you the power to poll irrigation zones to determine their on/off status, it also allows your computer to send a command to the module then check to see if the command was carried out. If not, the computer can automatically send the command again.

• Responds the X10 "All Units Off" command.
