WGL Irrigation Controllers, Lights, motion sensors, humidistats, thermostats, and security cameras are just some of the items that can be controlled remotely with Doberman BMS software.

Doberman BMS Server™ (the Brains of the system) not only acts as a server to the Doberman BMS clients and web pages -- but acts as a protocol bridge, allowing different devices to talk to each other. All this provides for ease of operation, expansion, comfort and savings.

Arming the security system can setback the furnace; humidity sensors on your thermostat can control a humidifier; outside conditions can even be pulled from the web.

The WGL line of sprinkler controllers all require an external device of some kind to initiate an irrigation sequence or control individual valves. It may be as simple as an X10 Palmpad remote, but in most cases a computer is the best option for easy operation.

We all are familiar the the usual sprinkler controllers and their complex series of keystrokes to change a run time and their very small LCD display. It makes sense to use a computer with it's large monitor and great graphics display to simplify the setup and ongoing control of any size sprinkler system.

WGL offers a great software package created for WGL by Golden Crater. This software supports all three types of Rain8 controllers:
  • X10 Powerline Rain8 modules
  • Networked Rain8 modules
  • Wireless Rain8 modules
Features and Benefits:
  • Internet based software. Set run times, start times and monitor operation over the Internet. All functions are controllable from any location in the world.
  • Control up to 256 zones (valves) with 5 independent programs (schedules). Run times from 15 seconds (great for misting) to 4 hours.
  • Modify all zones globally with a single control.
  • Monitor and control your home's irrigation from your office or while on vacation.
  • With 5 separate programs you can fine tune your irrigation to conserve valuable water.
  • Make seasonal adjustments in 5% increments on all run times. No need to spend time setting each zone individually.
