You could do much of this with a site monitor. From: Cameron Crum via Af Sent: Thursday, November 06, 2014 1:26 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] development platform for data/control system

I use a BCS-460 for my little brewery. It was designed with brewers in mind, but could be used for any application needing web based control for relays and such. There are a couple models with different numbers of inputs and outputs, has a built in web server for controlling it all, and they have an API so you could write your own. I wrote an andoid app called Brew Mate on the android market so I can use my phone with it. It might be worth looking at before re-inventing the wheel.

Basically be able to turn the lights on and off, monitor the temperature, turn on a heater, and control a magnetic door lock. The products are all lined out for controlling each of those but we need a controller that can deal with the IO and be able to be run from a webpage. My first though was Arduino or Beagleboard. Anyone have any experience with these things that could recommend a platform to build off of? The basic requirements are ethernet interface, a number of digital and analog IO connections and the ability to communicate with a web-server backend. -Ty
