Well, I was using it to run an UV EPROM eraser, so I don't know if that's home automation. The hardware was almost entirely not the point, the "hack" was doing it quickly with a Ruby script using the flow control lines on a USB->RS232 adapter. I figured a lot of young'ns probably didn't know about that. Thanks, Jonathan On Sat, Dec 30, 2017 at 10:47 PM, Neil Cherry <ncherry@linuxha.com> wrote:

Heh, I like Hackaday, but IIRC the last of my projects that got submitted had a "DEFINITELY DON'T USE THIS AND EXPECT THE COMPUTER NOT TO FRY YOU" disclaimer (mains voltage control). It got reported as "and of course it's safe because the computer controls it." :P
Uhm, isn't that called home automation?
