I'm so excited (new gadget)

If you understand the language then it will be a snap to get running.

 

cool i will post the progress when i get it setup im hopeing i can scrape up the change withen the next 2 months . 6 kids keeps my pockest low =) well my wife makes 7 funny i bet she says the same thing about me

 

We are raising two kids but for some reason my wife says she is raising 3.

 

Nice my wife says she wishes i clean the house like I mantain my tank

 

Biomatix already responded to my list of concerns. He said he would respond to each point, but for the sake of time he did point me to a file on the webserver that would have made my parsing of data much easier for my scripts. He also gave me the login and password for the in-built ftp server, but you can't do anything with it. He said he could give me an application that would allow me to make my own html pages for the web server and upload them to the box. That's cool, but they should say that in the manual.

The outlet that left my lights on is just shot. It stays on no matter what. It can't be controlled at all.

Oh well, the AC3 is on its way. I just hope I can return this unit. I still haven't gotten a word back if that will be an option yet.

 

Sessionthree,
You will enjoy the ACIII. It is almost like having a PLC at the house to mess with, not much it can't do. Let me know what you think when it comes in.

 

Will do. I was now reading some example programs tonight, and I'm already excited about the flexibility. The Biomatix is more for someone that doesn't want to bother with programming and has a relatively simple setup.

 

for the The rich Guy .......=)
