The Alarm Output Module (AOM) enables you to use weather station alarms 
or commands from your computer to automatically start or stop external 
devices such as indicator lights, audio alarms, sprinkler controllers, relays, or 
other low-voltage AC or DC loads. The AOM works with the GroWeather™, 
Energy EnviroMonitor™, or the Heath EnviroMonitor™. The 
GroWeatherLink

 

®

 

 and Energy WeatherLink

 also allow you to control two 

alarm outputs manually (by turning them on or off from the software), though 
the software is not required for basic operation.
