Base Station Software

Base Station works by communicating with your controller to identify the model and provides the appropriate manuals and graphical user interface for setting up and testing the your specific device. Base Station allows you to control relays and will even give you the command it's sending to the board. Base Station is helpful even if you are doing your own programming!

Key Fob, Taralist and Reactor boards all require Base Station for setup.
