I found this interesting box at qkits.com QK108
It has 8 relay outputs and 4 inputs. It's controlled via RS-232c(serial
port) instead of a printer port. I have an 8 port serial card in a linux
server to control a bunch of stuff. I have apache on that server and can
control the relays via a cgi script. I found it very easy to program a
serial port via perl and with an 8 port serial card(from Perle). You can
have a bunch of stuff hanging off it, like a 4 probe temp kit (QK 145) and a
ups and an RS-232 voltmeter to monitor the commerical power coming in and
....
I suspose it would be easy to take this even further to write AGI scripts
and dial an extension and let * announce the temperature or status of those
inputs and to control the outputs of the QK108.
I also use it with their K2639 to monitor the sump pits, monitoring for sump
pump failure.(therefore high water levels).
Cool, I've got to check that out.
For the OP, check my 1st web page below for various odds and ends
for the hardware and software that can be run on a *nix box. It's
not directly * related but if you can run scripts you can take
advantage of my collection of links.
