For Rain8 Irrigation Server Users  Doberman BMS |  |
Doberman BMS™ is an easy to understand ‘floor-plan style’ Drag and Drop interface that allows users to inspect and control devices and sensors in their homes – while they are at work, on vacation or elsewhere. Doberman BMS™ is designed for use on connected Desktop and Tablet PCs as well as Windows Mobile-based Pocket PCs, and the new Windows Mobile-based Smartphone. Lights, motion sensors, humidistats, thermostats, and security cameras are just some of the items that can be controlled remotely, on command using wireless devices.
Doberman BMS Server™ (the Brains of the system) not only acts as a server to the Doberman BMS clients and web pages -- but acts as a protocol bridge, allowing different devices to talk to each other. All this adds provides for ease of operation, expansion, comfort and savings.
Arming the security system can setback the furnace; humidity sensors on your thermostat can control a humidifier; outside conditions can even be pulled from the web. Visit the Doberman BMS page.

"What a great idea! Using X-10 as a security system."

"Some unique differences are building macros via drag and drop, and a way to draw a blueprint and control things from it. The blueprint idea is something I've wanted (and have on/off worked on) myself.
