RCS do some - the TR15 and TR36
http://www.resconsys.com/products/stats/serial.htm



-         but  not cheap - the TR36 is particularly nice as I believe it
has
a graphic LCD display screen and some buttons that can be programmed to
display automatically some user defined menus. I have been thinking of
getting one for a while from the US.

Subject: [ukha_d] Thermostat with RS232



I'd like to be able to control the temperature of my CH thermostat remotely
via a PC

One route would be to have Temperature sensors connected to the PC, and
then
have the PC directly control the On/Off of the Central Heating (Which I can
do now via Comfort and some relays to bypass the timer control for an extra
hour when I want it). I'd like to avoid though having the PC as absolutley
necessary for normal running - prefer it just as a means of varying the
temperature when required.

So anybody know of....

A Thermostat capable of switching 240V
Temperature Set Point controllable via RS232
being able to Poll the Temp would be a bonus.
Remote temperature sensor would be Ideal aswell.

And of course it has to be *cheap*. So Honeywell Smartfit is out ;-)

Thanks

Dean
