Hi All,

Thought i would share my Ethernet Gateway in a custom case.

The board is a itead iboard http://imall.iteadstudio.com/im120410001.html since i mounted this one in a case no modifications were needed to the board to connect the radio module.

The case is actually a modified HP MSM320 wireless access point http://www.zdtronic.com/images/MSM325.jpg which i cut down and sprayed black. As luck would have it the Ethernet + Power line up perfectly with the existing holes. There were even 3 existing holes which i simply had to drill out to for the larger LEDs.

So far i have tried the serial gateway based on a Nano & a Ethernet Gateway with a ENC28J60 and this is by far the most reliable solution.

This looks very interesting. Seems like it will make remote debugging easy, ie can run this on a PC at home and RDP into it.

I'm also interested in a working example to control some 240V Sockets http://www.wattsclever.com/products/easy-off-sockets

I've found the codes to send, just need to know how to send them

Finally managed to get this working by modifying Dwalts sketch to use the rcswitch library.

I found this much simpler to use as it allows you to learn your existing codes using a simple RF-Sniffer sketch (Sniffer.ino) ie no need to mess around with recording signals, binary codes etc. This sketch simply displays a decimal number which you can just send back to control your devices.

ie

define CODE_1On 0x5FF0DC //Sniffed code converted to Hex.

Serial.println("Turn on Socket 1");
mySwitch.send(CODE_1On, 24); // These codes are unique to each outlet
delay(50);

With this working i can now safely control a number of 240V devices around the home !
