Re: Simple whole house fan controller - and maybe the start of a hobby

You could use Home Domination too.  This can control X10 devices, but
you can also use a U401 or U421 device from USBmicro to control things
directly.  It's helpful to have an electronics background for that
though.  You can use one pin for hooking one or more 1-Wire temperature
sensors from Dallas Semiconductor to it and use other pins to control
the fan.  With Home Domination, you can have macros based on time of
day, or the temperature, or both, and you can control other devices
with X10 too if you like (the ones that don't require 100%
reliability).  You can monitor video cameras too and watch and control
everything remotely, have it send status emails, and tons of other
things.
