Running Logic on a Laptop

Hi There,

Is there an alternative to running some of the more complex logic commands/functions eg by running logic on a laptop permanently connected via a CNI?

For example I am interested in some Client Socket read and write logic to interact with security cameras, however not ready to shell out $ on a colour C-touch or wiser. PAC doesn't seem to be able to perform many of the functions I would like.

Many thanks in advance.
Guff!

 

If you want to run logic using TCP/IP functions, you obviously need a device with an Ethernet connection. Your choices are a laptop or PC running HomeGate, a Colour C-Touch or Wiser.

 

Can someone confirm for my benefit and Guff that Wiser would be by far the cheapest option to run some logic.
I was thinking of using an IP cam to trigger a gate or door myself.
Unfortunately after successfully working out how to send the URL to trigger the digital output on the camera with logic I also found that a power cycle to the camera would toggle the output making it somewhat useless.
So I would recommend using Piced with whatever Cbus connection you already have and test it well before deciding which route you take.
