Hi Guys
Recently purchased the Milfords Dmx controller and also the Dmx
relay board ....Didnt really have an application for it ,although read
quite
a bit about Dmx led dimming ....When Dmx is mentioned most people think of
lighting control.....Well im going to use it to control my irrigation
system.....;-)

Im a little wary that its not  going to be reliable for if it isnt im going
to cop a lot of flak from the wife who really loves to give my HA stuff a
real verbal bashing.....and the garden is her Domain ..

My main concern is that i get a power glitch/failure  all the mss100
devices
drop out and i have to close and restart each app.....I have a small ups on
my main computer , maybe i should get one for my  Node 0..........I suppose
i would need  to connect the ethernet switches to the ups as well...

Have written the Events and Determinators and currently testing the
hardware
while i install the plumbing around the garden so will take some pics when
finished..........
More Soon
Frank
