Air conditioner controlling by computer

Come, come, now. That's really asking a bit much.

CR4 is, after all, "The Engineer's Place for News and Discussion^SM", which I don't think includes free project design.

Have you tried to find out anything for yourself?

I must congratulate you for registering - if you hadn't, I suspect you'd have got very short shrift with such a question.

(might be an idea to choose a different name ).

Wow. JohnDG has a point. Tall order. But assuming this is for your great aunt who can't get out of bed, try this. There are a number of Windows based softwares that will work with the compatible thermostat. Look up www.homeauto.com. They have the product you need for auntie.

Good Luck,

Use your computer to MSN/text message your son to turn the AC on and off. You can even control it at work. No extra hardware needed.
