Cyber-Rain Unveils XCI Cloud

LA-based Green Technology Company Cyber-Rain announced the availability of the XCI Cloud, a tool for green home automation enabling smart irrigation.

Through any Internet-connected computer, XCI Cloud allows owners and managers of residential and commercial properties to manage an unlimited number of controllers. Users can monitor and control watering, as well as access critical data in an easy-to-read format from any location.


Additionally, Cyber-Rain also said that it is offering a free iPhone (News - Alert) app that lets customers control their watering from their hand-held devices.

"What we are providing is smart Irrigation in the palm of your hand," Diana Schulz, chief executive officer of Cyber-Rain said in a press release.

Schulz also said that with this new tool, users can create efficient watering schedules that are customized to their landscape through an intuitive interface that is easy to use. Schulz also said that one of the biggest innovations of XCI Cloud is a comprehensive dashboard-based reporting capability that lets users know how much water they are saving.

“We track usage not only by property, but also by zone, which allows property managers and owners to maximize their watering efficiency. We also provide users comprehensive reporting on everything from valve diagnostics to detailed logs of all irrigation activity," clarified Schulz.

Cyber-Rain is a company focused in making easy-to-use Internet-based smart sprinkler controller systems that reduce landscape water usage by 30-70% by automatically adjusting for local weather conditions.

Cyber-Rain is of the opinion that most sprinkler control systems in use today rely on timers that need to be manually adjusted. As a result, hundreds of millions of gallons of water are wasted every year because plants get watered when they don't need to be, including on cold days and even when it's raining. Cyber-Rain claims to be a pioneer in using Internet-based weather data to water only when it's necessary.

Recently, Cyber-Rain appointed sales, marketing and product management veteran Ben Jamison as chief revenue officer to oversee all of its sales and marketing activities.
