This allows you to automate both the beginning (startup) and closing (shutdown) of various
operations. The Merlino is able to autonomously shut down the system in case of unexpected
events or problems, thanks to the included rain sensor, thus ensuring the safety and security of
your system. It can be programmed to send you an alert via SMS. An optional alarm system
GSM allows the alert in case of an attempted at forced entry.
