This would be overkill, but I thought I would mention these products in case someone was looking for a more "robust/industrial" automation solution that could be integrated with the linux command line and asterisk. I do use asterisk as a "remote control" device for a few non-critical inputs (air supply valves) in our production plant. I also use asterisk for remotely checking status on few IO points. Opto 22 produces the SNAP PAC System a line of "IO control brains". Some of these devices/brains can run a control program independently, other serve as remote IO points for a controlling brain or a program running on your linux server. Most of the software is free with the exception of a few programs that are used in a large scale deployment situation.
Cheapest non-controlling brain http://www.opto22.com/site/pr_details.aspx?cid=4&item=SNAP-PAC-EB2 SDK for linux development (free). The SDK contains a program called eioctl that you can compile for command line control of IO points. <http://www.opto22.com/site/pr_details.aspx?cid=4&item=SNAP-PAC-EB2> http://www.opto22.com/site/downloads/dl_drilldown.aspx?aid=2890 On Mon, Oct 18, 2010 at 8:09 PM, Bryant Zimmerman <[email protected]>wrote: > I would look at x10 triggered switches.
