  • Hi, Very cool stuff. How do I buy one?

  • hay since i cant possibly go about making something like that, that looks very complicated. how much would something like that cost??

    also is there a good website u can give me to look at with multiple, as in large and smaller of these devices? Thanx, J

  • I will send you a personal message when the website is up. It will have a configuration section where you can customize your own box before ordering. Number of outlets, power monitoring options, environmental sensing options and wifi options will be selectable.

  • Very impressive.

  • Wow, that looks like you had to do a lot of work!

    The CNC part was really cool.

    I'm looking into being able to click on a web page button to open a gate on the other side of town. The electronics and embedded controller are not the problem, I don't know how to get from the click of the mouse on an html link to a signal to my controller. Can you point me in the right direction or give me any tips?

  • Does your controller have an ethernet interface?

  • I haven't picked one out yet. I was asked to accomplish this for a client and I am just beginning to figure out how to do it.

    I have experience with electronics, computers and networks but am at a loss as to how to get a mouse click to activate a device on the other side of town.

  • @breezebro I used a Lantronix XPORT ethernet-to-serial module for the power outlet controller. If all you need is an open/close signal, that module has some controllable logic lines. It supports secure comms too.

    Oh, and you'll probably need to set up port forwarding to talk to it behind a router.

  • @pdgelling I chedked it out and the Lantronix XPORT sure looks like it was made for this type of application. Thanks for the info!
