Abstract: Systems and processes for facilitating control of a decorative water fountain system through a network are described. A central computer may be connected to a network and may communicate with a variety of controllers to drive fountain hardware, lights, and music for an automated performance. Audience members may interact with the fountain system by communicating with the central computer through a network. Users may engage an application on a smartphone to request particular water jets, fountain movements, lights, colors, sounds, or the like. The central computer may receive the requests and communicate corresponding commands to fountain hardware controllers to cause the requested actions to be performed by fountain hardware (e.g., nozzles, lights, motors, pumps, switches, etc.). The central computer may also communicate with online social networks to post information related to user interaction, fountain performances, images, status, or the like.
