by Shane Henson — November 16, 2011—Cyber-Rain, a maker of Internet-based smart irrigation control systems, has made it even easier for facilities managers to remotely monitor and control the water usage for landscapes on multiple properties through extending the functionality of its XCI Cloud product
Among the features offered in the latest version of the XCI Cloud product are the addition of odd-even water scheduling, full integration with Blackberry mobile devices alongside its existing iPhone functionality, and GPS site and controller location information.
Cyber-Rain CEO James Krug said, “Despite advances in technology, most irrigation tools are still highly labor-intensive and require property managers and landscaping professionals to be on-site to make adjustments. XCI Cloud allows them to manage multiple systems from any Internet-connected computer and through iPhones. This not only saves time, but also gives property owners full control of their irrigation programs, and our reporting tools give visibility into how these programs are being implemented.”
