Home Automation Basics: Practical Applications Using Visual Basic 6
Did the mailman come today or not? How many times did the kids run in and out today? How long does the air conditioner usually run? So many questions-all of which can be answered with a monitoring system as part of an automated home.
In Home Automation Basics, Thomas E. Leonik, P.E. shows you how to utilize Visual Basic 6 in a home-monitoring system. Some day soon, all the functions of your home will be automated by a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), the backbone of all industrial controls in the world.
Trailblazing toward that new era, Leonik demonstrates just how easy it is to establish ground-level communications with a PLC through Visual Basic. Visual Basic 6 is a flexible programming language that operates through Microsoft(r) Windows.
With the help of a companion CD-ROM, Home Automation Basics guides you through the programming and installation portions of this project, giving you the ability to monitor a variety of functions in your home or office, including: Front doorbell, Door open/closed status, Water-pump usage, HVAC usage, Mailbox status, Temperature, Water pressure.
