	I am looking for alternates to a product, any vendors or manufacturers please post spec links and budget prices. Product is a relay that will change state when a particular serial stream is received. The catch is that I will specify the stream the device has to listen for. This device will be used to monitor serial communications between two other devices, and when command 1 is sent, the relay switches on. When command 2 is sent, or it has been more than 3 minutes since command 1 was sent, the relay switches off. As this device is 'sniffing' an exising serial stream, it must receive in 3-wire RS232. Thanks!

	Crestron QM-RMC - $500 Will do all of that, plus drive the rest of your system provided you use an Ethernet based user interface one way __________________ An inventor is like a magician. They never reveal how their tricks are done.

	Thanks JE, sorta not what I was after. I currently have a device for $200, I was trying to scale down from that, your device has more features. I know, who would acutally WANT LESS? Well, more features = more $$. I should have also mentioned that this is an industrial appplicaiton, so DIN rail mounted or screw-down is required, as is industrial temperature rating and UL is preferred.
