WebBrick Controller

The WebBrick Controller is designed to meet the needs of home automation and building management systems. Including a web server and a flexible process control engine, the WebBrick Controller is a standalone, configurable and flexible monitoring and control unit, capable of managing a range of equipment and systems over the internet or through local devices like switches and sensors. The WebBrick Controller  is easily configured through its own web pages built into the web interface.

WebBrick Controllers are industry proven and typically deployed in a range of commercial, public sector, retail, industrial and residential applications. If the network connection fails the WebBrick Controller nevertheless continues doing the job it was configured to do providing. WebBrick Controllers recover from power failures without the need for reconfiguration. These features allow for flexible and robust building automation architectures to be deployed accommodating either distributed or centralized control systems.
