When the Rain8PC is connected to a PC or Macintosh you can:
- Turn on or off each of the eight zones individually
- Turn off any zone that may be on
- Get the current zone status
Here are the detailed specs for the Rain8PC, and here is the documentation on the simple protocol used to communicate with the Rain8PC. Here is a link to a command line utility submitted by John W. Palmieri, check it out.
We also have a Windows demo application to control the Rain8PC available:
