Hi!

I have a jacuzzi heating system where I can control the temperature over RS232. I would like to be able to open the water valve and choose the water temperature remotely either from anywhere inside the house or over the internet. I never did anything with RS232. Is there anything in your store that could help me?

Thanks!

Hello,

What jacuzzi model do you have? I can take a look and see if it will work with any of our automation control system.

This most likely will require a hard wired system connected to a controller or a PC.

Hi!

I am not really sure if this will help you. It is a brazilian manufacturer and, actually, the control is done on the heater. Here is the heater link: http://www.cardal.com.br/frmhidro_digital.html

Actually, what I really would like to know is if there is any kind of device that could receive commands over the internet and could convert it to RS232 commands. Using the jacuzzi as reference, an example would be the user sending a command over the mobile phone to turn jacuzzi on and set temperature at 100F. Turn the jacuzzi on is ok even without rs232. My concern here is how to set the proper temperature.

The best would be some kind of equipment that would be a universal RS232 translator without being a PC. Does it exist?

Thanks!
Ailton
