Two part question.
If I wanted to control a sprinkler setup from my computer, linux
preferably, but windows is ok at this point as well, what would I
need/where would I go for the hardware end of it? Ideally, I don't want
to have to run the computer all the time for the controls, just to
modify settings.
Most fancy controllers I've seen in my web research, use wireless, or
serial connections, nothing usb by default. I'd like to avoid the
wireless and X10 interfaces, but serial is easy and cheap. So, part two
of my question is how does linux see a usb to serial adapter, since many
systems don't come with serial ports any more.
Thanks,
Rich
