Computer Interface to OWB
« on: November 02, 2011, 06:55:24 AM »

Hi all,

Does anyone know if Central Boiler have available an interface from their OWB to a computer say like my home?  This way I can monitor the settings from inside the house or if I'm work and make changes to the setting no matter where I am as long I have a computer handy. 

Thanks,

Roger

RSI put something together. (First link in my post at this link)

EDIT: Just re-read your post. I don't think he offers anything to change settings, just monitor.

Roger-

I've been searching for awhile but I think I found something that might fit your request. I think it will even work for me for my temp monitoring:

Scroll down to the temp modules.

Note on the probes: Only 1' cables. I called and they recommend CAT5 cables to extend routing to module. May have to add a 5V power supply if going long distance.

RidgeKid,

Thanks for the info.  That should do what I'm looking for.  The Cat5 cable is no big deal, I deal with it for a living.  I'll have to call them to see what they can do for me.

Man, this forum is great!
