Reliable’s controllers can get weather reports over the Internet.
January 2, 2016 - Reliable Controls released Internet Data Service (IDS) for RC-Toolkit which enables users to configure MACH-Pro(Web) controllers to poll weather services over the internet and map retrieved values to BACnet objects. These objects can then be trended, employed in operational sequences, and displayed in graphics and energy dashboards.
Mapping weather conditions and forecasts into Internet-enabled controllers is extremely helpful when preheating or pre-cooling commercial buildings or when adjusting the amount of free cooling available to a facility.
