Judy Guido, Chief Marketing Officer at Cyber-Rain, says, “From day one, our goal has been to build products that will help people use technology to save money and protect the earth. Getting this kind of industry recognition is important for us because it validates what we fundamentally believe: watering creates a major drain on our natural resources, and smart irrigation can play a major role in saving water.”
By using the power of personal computers to wirelessly control sprinkler systems, Cyber-Rain enables users to program watering schedules, set reminders for when to fertilize, and even measure water savings through an easy to use intuitive interface without ever needing to visit their garage. Cyber-Rain can be installed by anyone in minutes with no special tools or skills. The system, which costs $349, usually pays for itself in a few months and is available at http://www.cyber-rain.com and select retailers.
