MI Series Mobile Controllers
MI Series Mobile Controllers
Remote access to your central control is now as convenient as the Internet,
with mobile control. This software runs on your central control computer
to provide remote irrigation control via a web-enabled device or smart phone.
Rain Bird® MI series mobile controllers are designed to work on a
smartphone or tablet with Internet connectivity and offer far more remote
options than anything else available.
Once connected to the Internet, up to nine (9) remote users can
simultaneously control sprinklers and programs, review system activity
or directly change settings on both sprinklers and irrigation programs. All
activity is logged at the central control for convenient review.
MI series mobile controllers now also include MI FREEDOM user interfaces.
MI FREEDOM provides two smartphone interfaces for users to implement
traditional The FREEDOM System™ commands: 1) Handheld radio keypad
for users with years of handheld radio keypad experience. 2) Soft keyboard
interface for use of The FREEDOM System commands on a standard
smartphone virtual keyboard.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
• Designed for Windows® XP SP2 or Windows® 7 32-bit.
