• Automatically send emails based on a schedule or event.
• Conserve water by having your irrigation system delay watering when it rains.

• Integrate into one solution weather stations, thermostats, irrigation, programmable switches and downloadable controllers.
• Easily handle power failures by restoring the previous state of your home when power is restored.
