RE: Mains switching via IP

Mark,

Have you considered a VIOM or NetIOM from Phaedrus ?

I have used the VIOMs with great success with Homeseer and suspect the
NetIOM would be as reliable but with the advantage of Ethernet
connection...

VIOM used for UFH controller

VIOM used for general switching

Subject: [ukha_d] Mains switching via IP

I managed to get hold of a motorised projector screen but not the
remote control bits, basically it is controlled by hard wired three
way switch i.e. off/up/down.

Ideally I would like to conrol this via my Homeseer with a Mainlobby
front end, but I can't figure out how to do it with X10 modules, So
the other option would be via IP invoked from a VB script or
whatever.

I have been looking around for a small IP device that switches a
relay and found this: http://tinyurl.com/o8zjz
<http://tinyurl.com/o8zjz>  which
looks like it
can do the job (along with a couple of 230v relays), it is a bit
pricey, but I could tuck it away in the ceiling void and forget
about it.

If anyone has any alternative (and cheaper!) suggestions I would be
greatful.

Thanks
Mark
