I have got some questions about automating from computer.
I would like to control about 30-40 different electrical devices ( like interior or exterior lights,garage doors etc. )
I’m looking for, a circuit or modules which can be connected to computer ( usb or COM RS-232) and able me to drive them by an VB6 application.I’ll write down the VB6 application.
I would like to turn on every light independently when ever I want it from my pc.
Is it possible ? If so how ?
Can anyone show me a direction ?
Thanks for reply. If It is possbile I would like to ask some more questions :
1.I think that the simple way to control 30/40 electrical devices by my computer is connect 5 seperate K8056 8-Channel Relay Card together ( 8*5 makes 40 channels ) . I can write down an VB6 application to control them. Is it possible in this way?
2.If I want something a little bit more sophisticated, I would like to use a control panel like VMB4PD, is it possible to control 10 * 4 Channel relay module , 40 channels from only 1 control pad ? And is it possible to control all of these channels with only ONE USB connection from my computer ?
3.To have more idea about your products, is it possbile to visit you at your place ? As far as I’m living in Belgium, It will be easier for me to come to your place and ask my questions .
