Remote Internet Irrigation Control
This is an example of over 100 zones of irrigation
control over the Internet at Texas A&M University. From any location in the
world with Internet access, it is possible to view past irrigation activities,
modify schedules or control valve(s) in real time. The Rain8 is using the PC
automation program HomeSeer in this example.

HomeSeer Script Generator
 |
 For HomeSeer users, we offer a free program that generates a VB script automatically.
All the user has to do is enter the zone
name, X10 address and the run time for as many as 24 zones. It is no longer necessary to write the Visual Basic Script that would normally be required to achieve this task.
Additional features are:
- Global modification of all run times. This provides a means of increasing or
decreasing run times 5% by pushing a single button. Use this as the days warm up
and additional water is needed.
- Total Run Time displays the length of time the complete irrigation cycle will
take.
- Irrigation interval can be set from 1 to 6 days. Use this feature if it is
desired to schedule an irrigation cycle on a repetitive basis. For example, you
could program HomeSeer to call the script every day, but set this value for 3.
Now every third day an irrigation cycle will occur, while the “off” days will be
skipped.
- Aborting a cycle is a simple matter of turning the zone that is currently
active, off. That zone will stop immediately and the script will be terminated.
