Rain Bird® MI Series Mobile Controllers User Manual
Introduction
Rain Bird® MI Series Mobile Controllers are a brand new type of portable controller
for Rain Bird irrigation systems. The Rain Bird MI Series was designed to work on a
standard cell phone with Internet connectivity and offers the user far more options
than the simple remote controls currently available in the marketplace. Once
connected, up to 9 users can simultaneously perform many operations ranging from
activating sprinklers and programs, observing real-time status information or directly
editing central control sprinkler and program data. All activity is logged for
convenient review.
Rain Bird MI Series Mobile Controllers is a sophisticated system in which an Internet
server is linked to your central control system and a Web service is used to issue
Web pages to a remote device. This diagram is a very basic description overview of
the system architecture.
Rain Bird MI Series Mobile Controllers utilize a server running on your central control
computer. A remote Web browser such as the micro-browser commonly found on
newer cell phones is then used to contact that server and remotely operate your
central control.
The following chapters describe the use of Rain Bird MI Series Mobile Controllers.
Because there are a wide variety of Internet appliances available and they are
constantly changing, every device cannot be described in detail. With Rain Bird MI
Series Mobile Controllers User Preferences are provided to help you customize the
behavior of you controller to work well with almost any Web-enabled phone. All
phones do not offer the same level of Internet browser capability however. Some
phones are very easy to use and others require practice. The instructions presented
here are intended to cover typical devices.
