RE: PC Interfacing



Hi Alistair,
Why not use a 'proper Home automation controller like Homevision,  also
available at Laser and Letsautomate. It can be used with a PC and without.
It has a lot of in- and outputs and is easily configurable. I use it  for
one and a half year now for HA and security and am very satisfied with its
high reliability and flexibility.
with kind greetings,
Harry Hendriks
