Scatterbird

Read full description

This App is used with the Scatterbird remote control birdscarer, developed and made in the UK by Portek Ltd. It provides an easy and secure way of programming the Scatterbird in the comfort of your home, then sending the program to the birdscarer by using Bluetooth when close to the unit at a later time. Many programs can be stored by the app and can be used as and when desired by simply selecting the program and sending to the Scatterbird. The app allows the user to change many different variables. Number of bangs in each sequence, interval between sequences, time during day that the Scatterbird will operate. As well as these functions the app will allow the Scatterbird to have the same program each day, or alternatively a different program for each day. Included in this is the ability to have no operation during some days at all if wanted. Random features are also included. The app provides the most easy and varied features on any Birdscarer of this type. The app can control multiple Scatterbirds by choosing which one to communicate with at any time.
