UPB Rain8 Sprinkler Controller
by Edwin in Eco Gadgets, Electronic Gadgets, Garden Gadgets, Home Gadgets
While sprinklers in your garden are convenient, they aren’t exactly eco friendly unless you keep an extremely close eye on them.
Integrate sprinkler or watering system control into your UPB home automation system with the UPB Rain8, a full-featured, 8-zone irrigation controller that accepts and reacts to standard UPB commands. This opens up the world of sprinkler and irrigation system control to anyone with UPB timers, remote controls, even over-the-Internet control using PC-based automation software. The UPB Rain8 was designed for installation in a water-protected location or in a weatherproof enclosure. The sprinkler wiring termination block easily separates from the main UPB Rain8 controller, allowing you to easily modify UPB Rain8 programming without tedious rewiring. Multiple UPB Rain8 modules can be networked together, requiring only one AC transformer and PLC interface.
Those who love to go green will definitely find the UPB Rain8 Sprinkler Controller a worthy addition to their homes for $114.99.

October 20th, 2008 at 2:20 pmAny controller that lets you program from a browser is going to be easier to use than a timer box.
Here’s one that’s more of a scheduling service than a gadget: http://www.lawncheck.com This gives you multiple programs, seasonal control, and local weather control by zip. It’s interesting, though you’ll need always-on Internet if you want to use it, and you’ll have to know a little about networking. If you do use it, it should help save on your water bill, and help you with water conservation.
cheers,
