As these units a new we are offering them for £150 each, with life time firmware upgrades and support. Normal price will be £200.

... so a new build is underway, wireless or wired ip, 2x ir 2xrs232 2xrelay  temp sensor and 6 button inputs, price... hopefully $100 ish. when i say ish i mean in the range of 10% so more inline with the market i would hope!, the wifi might be a drop more as a few more parts.

How unfortunate that the price went from 100ish USD to 200GBP

It is indeed unfortunate, there is a cut down version coming as above (wireless or wired ip, 2x ir 2xrs232 2xrelay  temp sensor and 6 button inputs) but it is still going to be about £100, i know that's not $100, but at least the old £ is less in US $ then it was!.
If some one slaps an order on us for 250 units the price will come down, it's that old game, I'm going to Hong Kong in a few weeks partly going to check out some factories, so you never know.
the good news is we've pre sold a lot of t1's, so hopefully there is the demand that will in turn push the price down.

Hari,
Thanks for the offer, please PM me your address and i will send you one, i thought some one would offer a driver for sample and happy to do one for you as you've asked, really appreciate the support.

other wise we have 18 left of the 50, well 17 now.

cheers

Hi All, Been busy working away and have some news!

We are doing a run of 50 T1 controllers, the spec is:
6 IR Outputs
1 IR receiver (for learning codes)
4 RS232 Serial Ports
1 RS485 Serial Port
4 x Relay (10amp 240v)
4 Contact closer inputs

These now have an open API which lets you use the ports as ip gateway type so send a code and it comes out, nice and easy, or there is now a web setup on board where you can learn IR codes manage serial strings ect then just call simple custom strings.

As these units a new we are offering them for £150 each, with life time firmware upgrades and support. Normal price will be £200. of the 50 there are still a few left, shipping will be 18 August. If you would like more information or to order one or some, please message me and we can make arrangement.
Thanks g

for 100EUR you get a 400Mhz ARM with 3,5" touchscreen running Linux with 3 serial ports (and plenty of other IO). I'm just looking into relais shield and consumer infrared extensions. A price of 500$ is quite steep..

Is this the old friendlyarm system again?, it's not a bad bit of kit, but watch out for the life cycle, if it's just a few here or there it's not so bad, we will have a 3.5" ts out shortly on IP, price around $300. If it's not please say what it is, sounds good.

Yes $500 is steep!,  so a new build is underway, wireless or wired ip, 2x ir 2xrs232 2xrelay  temp sensor and 6 button inputs, price... hopefully $100 ish. when i say ish i mean in the range of 10% so more inline with the market i would hope!, the wifi might be a drop more as a few more parts.

Hi Guys,

Sorry it's taken longer to get a doc sorted then i wanted.
On the cost bases it's the old numbers game, small batches cost sadly, but working on getting the price down, at the moment
the bigger one, 6x ir,4x 232,1x485,4x relay,4 x io is in the $500 ( i know!)

What would be a great help is if you guys could tell me what type of interface and numbers of them on a box and maybe we can
come up with something, it maybe I'm sticking on loads you don't want/need and not adding things your dreaming of!.

I have a light interface document for people to have a look at, it's very simple, can i post it here or should i just put a link to it?

Thanks, thats all good then, yes the product is very much like a gc-100, we are adding some onboard
logic real time clock and IR storing, our IR learner is part of the unit which is handy.

I will have a protocol document out by next week i hope, so will send that around or post a down load link and people can tell us what they think.

Hello all,

I hope my posting is ok and not out of line!

We have/are developing a range of IP controllers and would be happy to work with any one who maybe interested in using them with
LinuxMCE.

The unit i think maybe of interest is called T1, this has

1x Ethernet
4x RS232 ports
1x RS485 port
1x Relay
6x IR outputs

We also make devices that sit on he RS485 such as relay boxes, audio switchers and dimmers (dimmers are coming soon)

All units are euro DIN mount but can be put into desk top or rack mount style boxes.

please PM me if you would like to work with us.
thanks
g
