Home Automation Devices

Hi,
Though I would post some of the devices which I am using:
Velman K8061 - Inputs and Outputs (Over 32)
VK011: Serial Temperature Sensor Interface

If you have these devices and would like software to connect to Mango, just let me know.

How are you going about using the VK011 to connect to Mango. I Have a hot tub that I need to monitor the temp on for comfort and anti-freezing issues. I am about to buy this VK011 and setup on my Linux fedora HAS computer.

Hello Roger,

I can't speak too confidently for Matt, but since there appears to be a problem with his domain i'll tell you what i know.

Matt used some functionality with the VK011 to connect it to a SQL database, and then used Mango to read and update values on the same database. I don't know if there is a more direct route between the VK011 and Mango (such as using Modbus or something), but if not, the database that he used was MySQL, which is a free download, and for Fedora is available from the "add software" interface or using yum.

Sorry about the domain issues, they should be repaired now. I have a service which installs that monitors the values comming from the temp board. The values are then populated to a database. I then use mango to view the data from the database. I am not sure this is the best way to do this; however, it works great for me

I would be glad to try to help you if you belive this is the way you want to go.
