Qeustion:
I have noticed the lack is discussion of incorporation analog values with insteon/plm/isy-99. I have a home control program that I wrote, utilizing several physical layers. Each has it's advantages and dis-advantages. That said, I utilize about 15 temperature sensors in my system, to control various devices. I use Dallas One Wire for the temperature/humidity modules. They work well, however I am not happy with the output devices. Here comes insteon. But how do I get the data to turn on the fan or sprinkler from my Dallas One Wire data (my program) to the Insteon network? I am using Linux, but I suspect that this question is OS independent.
Is there a simple way to turn on a device via the serial port? The documentation on the PLM is confusing. Is there a good document to read?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
